The incredible true story of Louis Zamperini, now a major motion picture. On a May afternoon in 1943, a US bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean. After an agonising delay, a young lieutenant finally bobbed to the surface and struggled aboard a life raft. So begins one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War. The lieutenant's name was Louis Zamperini. As a boy, he turned to petty crime until he discovered a remarkable talent for running, which took him to the Berlin Olympics. But as war loomed, he joined up and was soon embroiled in the ferocious battle for the Pacific. Now Zamperini faced a journey of thousands of miles of open ocean on a failing raft, dogged by sharks, starvation and the enemy. Driven to limits of endurance, Zamperini's fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would depend on the strength of his will...

Unbroken is the life story of Louis Zamperini. He was a runner, Olympian, World War II bomber and prisoner of war. In other words, he has an amazing story to tell.
Laura Hillenbrand has uncovered a special story that could have been lost in time; it's a good one to tell as it embodies so many aspects of historical details. It is a journey of epic proportions.
I would have loved to give this book 5 full stars, but I couldn't.
Vulgar language started appearing after 1/3 of the way into the book. More precisely, it is vulgar name-calling. I rather wish the author could have not used the exact names (yet stay true to the facts), and perhaps pulled it off in a more discreet way.

UNBROKEN
Great book of life before and during World War II. It shows how anyone can come to faith and how faith can sustain one in times of need.
