Unbroken A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption is an inspirational novel highly acclaimed as ""an inspirational masterpiece affecting the whole America"". Telling an unforgettable story of a mans journey into extremity, Unbroken is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit. The author spent Seven years and conducted 75 interviews with the protagonist, with a plenty of material scanning, reproducing the scences 85 years ago in his book. The protagonist Zamperini suffered bomber crash on the sea, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft,700 days of imprisonment, 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.
