Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
by Laura Hillenbrand
An incredible story of Louis Zamperini and his fellow POWs and the horrendous things they endured as POWs in Japan’s camps during WW2. So much resilience in the midst of a massive amount of suffering and mistreatment.
I’ve read a few stories from that side of the war but not to the extent and detail as was told in this book. The ending was also beyond remarkable, and I love how the author explained what happened after the war with both the men and the Japanese captors. Most of the time in war-specific books, the story ends when everyone comes home but there is so much more that happens in real life, that this really fleshed it out for me.
