À propos de cet audio

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the acclaimed author of Seabiscuit comes the incredible true story of survival and salvation that is the basis for two major motion pictures: Unbroken and Unbroken: Path to Redemption.

“Extraordinarily moving . . . a powerfully drawn survival epic.”—The Wall Street Journal


“Hillenbrand’s writing is so ferociously cinematic, the events she describes so incredible, you don’t dare take your eyes off the page.”—People

TIME’S TOP NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR • WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE


In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that carried him to the Berlin Olympics. Then with the start of World War II, the athlete became an airman. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived. Ahead of him 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.

Yet Zamperini’s willpower faced its ultimate test upon his heroic return home after the war. He grappled with PTSD, struggled to come to terms with the injustices done to him, and was set on the path of redemption by a momentous encounter with famed reverend Billy Graham.

An unforgettable story of a man’s journey into extremity, Unbroken is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit.

It is hard not to be moved by this page-turning story of the life of Louis "Louie" Zamperini. It is hard to imagine that Zamperini survived any episode told in this great book, let alone ALL of them! What a loss was Edward Hermann whose narration made this harrowing story come to life at every turn. I would gladly listen to any history told in Hermann's voice...another great in the same vein as Grover Gardner! #Audible1

A Perfect Title for the Title Character!

An incredible story of resilience and humanity. Great narration on what is also a highly educational listen.

Amazing

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.

Very interesting, but some disgusting details
