Unbroken is the incredible true story of survival and redemption during World War II, which has served as the basis for two major motion pictures. On May 27, 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, leaving only debris and an oil slick. Lieutenant Louis Zamperini survived on a raft, facing thousands of miles of ocean, sharks, and enemy aircraft. Driven to the limit, Zamperini responded to desperation with ingenuity, suffering with hope, and brutality with rebellion. Unbroken is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit.
Laura Hillenbrand is an American author.

Her writing style is distinct from New Journalism, dropping "verbal pyrotechnics" in favor of a stronger focus on the story itself.
