Notes From Your Bookseller

That magic recipe of harrowing nonfiction that reads with the gusto of well-plotted fiction. It’s the story of a crashed WWII gunner stranded in the Pacific and his unlikely—nay, impossible—journey to survival. The human spirit is impenetrable, and nowhere is that better seen than here.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the acclaimed author of Seabiscuit comes the incredible true story of survival and salvation that is the basis for two major motion pictures: Unbroken and Unbroken: Path to Redemption.

“Extraordinarily moving . . . a powerfully drawn survival epic.”—The Wall Street Journal


“Hillenbrand’s writing is so ferociously cinematic, the events she describes so incredible, you don’t dare take your eyes off the page.”—People
