One of the best books that I have ever read is Unbroken. The story of an Olympic level sprinter, he was in the 1936 Games in Berlin, who was drafted into the Army Air Force during World War II. The book details Louis Zamperini’s incredible story of being shot down during a mission, spending over two months floating in a small rubber raft in the Pacific and being rescued by a Japanese boat. He then spends the remainder of World War II stuck in a variety of prison camps. Written by the same woman as Seabiscuit, also a really good book and movie, this tale runs the full gamut of emotions. ~Andrew, Reference student
The library owns a copy of this book. The call number is D805 J3 Z364 2010 and is located on the 2nd floor. I agree with Andrew. This book was an amazing testament to human suffering, loss of dreams and the ability to forgive. ~Sandy
