Unbroken (Movie Tie-in Edition): A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption

In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft and beyond, a trial even greater.

Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity, suffering with hope, resolve and humor. brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will. Unbroken is an unforgettable testament to the resilience of the human mind, body and spirit, brought vividly to life by Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand.
