Unbroken : a World War II airman's story of survival, resilience, and redemption / by Laura Hillenbrand/ 11cds



First of all the narrator of the audio, Edward Herrmann is brilliant. He is an actor and the narrator of several other bestselling audio books. He tells us the true story of an Olympic Medal Winner and former WWII P.O.W., Louis Zamperini.  The story spans several years as the narrator takes us from Louis’s childhood to his senior years. Personally the only problem I had with the story was listening to the violence and abuse the prisoners of war in Japan during WWII had to endure. Otherwise, it was remarkable how this man persevered and how much we owe are veterans. 
If you enjoy Edward Herrmann reading this audio I would also recommend Innocent
by Scott Turow.
