Description

Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand; Tara Waller
This is not the actual book, Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand. This is A Brief Read of Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand, as summarized and interpreted by Tara Waller.
Unbroken is “a World War II Story of Survival, Resilience & Redemption.” It is the tale of Louis Zamperini, a mischievous youth who learns to channel his energy into running. He aspires to become an Olympic runner and achieves his dream before his life is forever changed by his experiences in the Second World War.
The reader follows Zamperini through his youth, his days in training, and the plane crash that left him stranded at sea for 47 days. We are with him in the raft, fighting the sharks, starving, and struggling to keep himself and his friends alive. We feel the fear, the anticipation, and the horror at being rescued by the enemy, only to become a POW, and the main target for one particularly brutal and sadistic guard, for the next two and a half years, no one knowing that he’s even alive.
This inspiring tale of overcoming all odds and finding peace at the end of it all takes us on an adventure and leaves us in awe of the amazing power of human strength.
