Unbroken

Unbroken by Laura Hildebrand

Well I'm late to reading this book the history of Louis Zampa rainy and of World War II. It's a book that was printed in 2010 and is currently being ready to be put into a movie.it's relatively quickly quick read so I rented over the weekend.

I thought it was just a story of a World War II bomber who got shot down over the ocean and survived a long stint floating adrift in the ocean. And turned out to be much more. Louis was a quality track runner prior to World War II. Book goes through his tumultuous childhood his finding track and running; and becoming a TrackStar; then signing up for the war.he becomes a bombardier on the B 24 ends up getting shot down over the pacific ocean and set adrift. History would be an incredible story of resilience of the human mind body and spirit if all he did was survive this over 30 days adrift and thousands of miles floating on the Pacific ocean. But as it turns out, he's taken as a prisoner of war in Japan , And is forced to endure horrendous treatment just violent abusive physically and emotionally and mentally but he endures. At the end of the war, He is a liberated returns stateside a damaged man suffering posttraumatic syndrome and nightmares totally disfunctional and then fails to cope with everyday life. That too but itself would be compelling story what he had to endure the resilience of the human mind body and spirit. His ultimate triumph to my surprise was a religious redemption, brought about by attendance and revival withBilly Graham. Louis finds the Savior and redemption and then the rest of his life through doing good. His burden is lifted and he is able to see life through a clear vision, Forgive those who abused him, and move forward.

It is not an exquisitely well-written book but it is a compelling story. No it is not man's search for meaning by Frankel. But it is every bit as compelling it's a quick read and i recommend it. Known fact I almost didn't finish reading the book when he became a drunk and was abusing his wife and I thought it was going to end on such a negative note. But then I finished the book and once again found hope and redemption.
