Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand

Meet Louie Zamperini. In his 90s now, he's had a life full of amazing adventures:
- a juvenile delinquent in California during the 1920s
- a world class runner competing in the 1936 Berlin Olympics
- a bombardier in the Army Air Corps over the Pacific in WWII

Planes crash, sharks attack, and Japanese POW camps all figure in this true story of cruelty, survival, courage, heroism, but most of all, undying spirit. From the author of the award-winning "Seabiscuit".
