Unbroken (Movie Tie-in Edition): A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption

$15.78

This #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER shares the incredible true story of survival and salvation. As a boy, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. When he became a teen, he channeled his defiance into running,  and discovered a hidden and spectacular talent that would take him to the Berlin Olympics. After World War II started, he would become an airman. And when his bomber crashed in the Pacific Ocean he survived. Facing the limits of his own endurance, Zamperini counter desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. But his willpower faced the ultimate test when he returned home, grappled with PTSD and came to encounter the Reverend Billy Graham. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body and spirit.
