"Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption - by Laura Hillenbrand

On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Force bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood.  Then, on the ocean's surface, a face appeared - Lt. Louis Zamperini.  Captured by the Japenese and driven to the limits of endurance, Zamporini would answer desperation with ingenuity, suffering with hope, resolve, and humor.
