Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane s bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary sagas of the Second World War. \u003cbr\u003eThe lieutenant s name was Louis Zamperini. As a boy, he had been a clever delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and stealing. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a supreme talent that carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when war came, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown. \u003cbr\u003eAhead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a sinking raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would respond to desperation with ingenuity, suffering with hope and humor, brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would hang on the fraying wire of his will. \u003cbr\u003eFeaturing more than one hundred photographs plus an exclusive interview with Zamperini, this breathtaking odyssey also captured on film by director Angelina Jolie is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the ability to endure against the unlikeliest of odds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for\u003ci\u003eUnbroken\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis adaptation of Hillenbrand's adult bestseller is highly dramatic and exciting, as well as painful to read as it lays bare man's hellish inhumanity to man. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, STARED\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis captivating book emphasizes the importance of determination, the will to survive against impossible odds, and support from family and friends.
