Amazon.com Review:

Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2010: From Laura Hillenbrand, the
bestselling author of Seabiscuit, comes Unbroken, the inspiring true story of a man who lived through a series of
catastrophes almost too incredible to be believed. In evocative, immediate descriptions,
Hillenbrand unfurls the story of Louie Zamperini--a juvenile delinquent-turned-Olympic runner-turned-Army hero. During a
routine search mission over the Pacific, Louie?s plane crashed into the ocean, and what happened to him over the next
three years of his life is a story that will keep you glued to the pages, eagerly awaiting the next turn in the story
and fearing it at the same time. You?ll cheer for the man who somehow maintained his selfhood and humanity despite the
monumental degradations he suffered, and you?ll want to share this book with everyone you know.

Publishers
Weekly:

Starred Review. From the 1936 Olympics to WWII Japan's most brutal POW camps, Hillenbrand's
heart-wrenching new book is thousands of miles and a world away from the racing circuit of her bestselling Seabiscuit.
But it's just as much a page-turner, and its hero, Louie Zamperini, is just as loveable: a disciplined champion racer
who ran in the Berlin Olympics, he's a wit, a prankster, and a reformed juvenile delinquent who put his thieving skills
to good use in the POW camps, In other words, Louie is a total charmer, a lover of life--whose will to live is cruelly
tested when he becomes an Army Air Corps bombardier in 1941. The young Italian-American from Torrance, Calif., was
expected to be the first to run a four-minute mile. After an astonishing but losing race at the 1936 Olympics, Louie was
hoping for gold in the 1940 games. But war ended those dreams forever. In May 1943 his B-24 crashed into the Pacific.
After a record-breaking 47 days adrift on a shark-encircled life raft with his pal and pilot, Russell Allen
"Phil" Phillips, they were captured by the Japanese. In the "theater of cruelty" that was the
Japanese POW camp network, Louie landed in the cruelest theaters of all: Omori and Naoetsu, under the control of Corp.
Mutsuhiro Watanabe, a pathologically brutal sadist (called the Bird by camp inmates) who never killed his victims
outright--his pleasure came from their slow, unending torment. After one beating, as Watanabe left Louie's cell, Louie
saw on his face a "soft languor.... It was an expression of sexual rapture." And Louie, with his defiant and
unbreakable spirit, was Watanabe's victim of choice. By war's end, Louie was near death. When Naoetsu was liberated in
mid-August 1945, a depleted Louie's only thought was "I'm free! I'm free! I'm free!" But as Hillenbrand shows,
Louie was not yet free. Even as, returning stateside, he impulsively married the beautiful Cynthia Applewhite and tried
to build a life, Louie remained in the Bird's clutches, haunted in his dreams, drinking to forget, and obsessed with
vengeance. In one of several sections where Hillenbrand steps back for a larger view, she writes movingly of the
thousands of postwar Pacific PTSD sufferers. With no help for their as yet unrecognized illness, Hillenbrand says,
"there was no one right way to peace; each man had to find his own path...." The book's final section is the
story of how, with Cynthia's help, Louie found his path. It is impossible to condense the rich, granular detail of
Hillenbrand's narrative of the atrocities committed (one man was exhibited naked in a Tokyo zoo for the Japanese to
"gawk at his filthy, sore-encrusted body") against American POWs in Japan, and the courage of Louie and his
fellow POWs, who made attempts on Watanabe's life, committed sabotage, and risked their own lives to save others.
Hillenbrand's triumph is that in telling Louie's story (he's now in his 90s), she tells the stories of thousands whose
suffering has been mostly forgotten. She restores to our collective memory this tale of heroism, cruelty, life, death,
joy, suffering, remorselessness, and redemption.
