Histoire
Seabiscuit was one of the most electrifying and popular attractions in sports history and the single biggest newsmaker in the world in 1938, receiving more coverage than FDR, Hitler, or Mussolini. But his success was a surprise to the racing establishment, which had written off the crooked-legged racehorse with the sad tail.

Histoire
The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

Histoire
In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

Histoire
Joe Simpson, with just his partner, Simon Yates, tackled the unclimbed West Face of the remote 21,000-foot Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in June of 1985. But before they reached the summit, disaster struck. A few days later, Simon staggered into Base Camp, exhausted and frostbitten, to tell their non-climbing companion that Joe was dead. For three days he wrestled with guilt as they prepared to return home. Then a cry in the night took them out with torches, where they found Joe, badly injured.

Description
Number-one New York Times best seller
The incredible true story of survival and salvation that is the basis for two major motion pictures: 2014’s Unbroken and the upcoming Unbroken: Path to Redemption.
On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. 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 odysseys of the Second World War.
The lieutenant’s name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he’d been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.
Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, 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.
In her long-awaited book, Laura Hillenbrand writes with the same rich and vivid narrative voice she displayed in Seabiscuit. Telling an unforgettable story of a man’s journey into extremity, Unbroken is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Unbroken is wonderful twice over, for the tale it tells and for the way it’s told. A better book than Seabiscuit, it manages maximum velocity with no loss of subtlety. [Hillenbrand has] a jeweler’s eye for a detail that makes a story live." (Newsweek)
"A master class in narrative storytelling.... Extraordinarily moving...A powerfully drawn survival epic." (The Wall Street Journal)
"Ambitious and powerful.... Hillenbrand is intelligent and restrained, and wise enough to let the story unfold for itself. Her research is thorough, her writing crystalline. Unbroken is gripping in an almost cinematic way." (The New York Times Book Review)

Unreal Story
This is an insane story that seems too horrific to be true. Should he required reading along with Night, Man’s Search for Meaning, and the Gulag Archipelago. It’s also an insane survival story. Too many things to mentions. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Blew My Expectations
Lauren Hillenbrand has crafted a beautiful story of one man's life among the pages of history. I've never been so glued to a story before. There were moments when I laughed and moments when tears rolled down my face. It strengthend my faith in God, and reminded me that nothing I'll ever go through can come close to what these men endured. Edward Herrmann is a joy to listen to, and he deliveres the story in the most captivating manner.

Very interesting, but some disgusting details
I found this story very interesting. The author does a fantastic job of portraying the colossal hardships that these men faced, warring against all odds of survival. However, I did not appreciate some of the disgusting details of the immorality present at camp and among the POW's, although some of that obviously was present and did happen.

WOW!
I went into this book blindly on a recommendation and was absolutely captivated. There were several moments when I thought the book must be close to over because there was just no way anything else would happen but there were HOURS remaining!

What an incredible story, the sad part is, that it is a true story !
I cannot tell you how much this piece of history affected me. How can so much cruelty exist?
The story was very well narrated.
May this never happen again.

An incredible tale that left me laughing, spellbound, in suspense, hopeful, saddened and then encouraged. What an amazing testimony of life when all seems lost.

Amazingly done.
This book has given me a better understanding of war and the tragedies created by it.
Shows how people can get through tough times.
And the damages of being in a toxic environment that are dealt to each of the individuals.

Inspiring and well-written
This true story is brought to life through Hillenbrand’s gift of story telling. It is an amazing story of an amazing life journey. It details with incredibly compelling prose the experience of one of the men who endured and lived through the Japanese torture camps and finally came to peace. A must-listen!
