Unbroken
by Laura Hillenbrand
Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken is the true story of Louis Zamperini, a delinquent turned Olympic runner turned bombardier who survives 47 days adrift in the Pacific and then years in Japanese prison camps. It is narrative nonfiction at its most relentless, and its last act, the long fight to live with what happened, matters as much as the survival.
