On a May day in 1943, an Army Air Pushes bomber crashed in to the Pacific Sea and disappeared, leaving only a aerosol of dirt and a slick of engine oil, gasoline, and blood vessels. Then, on the sea surface, a face came out. It had been that of a young lieutenant, the plane's bombardier, who was simply battling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most outstanding odysseys of the next World War. The lieutenant's name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he'd been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into residences, brawling, and fleeing his home to drive the rails. As a teenager, he previously channeled his defiance into jogging, sensing a prodigious expertise that had taken him to the Berlin Olympics and within look of the four-minute mile. But when war got come, the sportsman got become an airman, embarking on a quest that resulted in his doomed airline flight, a tiny raft, and a drift in to the unknown. Before Zamperini lay thousands of miles of wide open sea, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and hunger, enemy plane, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the boundaries of stamina, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, handle, and laughter; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will. In her long-awaited new booklet, Laura Hillenbrand writes with the same rich and vibrant narrative speech she viewed in Seabiscuit. Informing an unforgettable tale of a man's quest into extremity, Unbroken is a testament to the resilience of the human being head, body, and heart.
