Seabiscuit was one of the most electrifying and popular attractions in sports history and the single biggest newsmaker in the world in 1938, receiving more coverage than FDR, Hitler, or Mussolini.

Story5 out of 5 stars 3,147
Four days before Christmas in 1943, a badly damaged American bomber struggled to fly over wartime Germany. At its controls was a 21-year-old pilot. Half his crew lay wounded or dead. It was their first mission. Suddenly a sleek, dark shape pulled up on the bomber’s tail - a German Messerschmitt fighter. Worse, the German pilot was an ace, a man able to destroy the American bomber with the squeeze of a trigger.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 321
The men of the 77th Infantry Division couldn't fathom why Private Desmond T. Doss would venture into the horrors of World War II without a single weapon to defend himself. "You're nothing but a coward!" they said. But the soft-spoken medic insisted that his mission was to heal, not kill. When Desmond knelt by his bunk to pray, his fellow soldiers hurled boots and insults at him. Even his commander wanted to throw him out of the army. But when his unit arrived on the battlefield, the intrepid medic quickly proved he was no coward.

The Pentagon has officially confirmed more than 150 of Kyles kills (the previous American record was 109), but it has declined to verify the astonishing total number for this book. Iraqi insurgents feared Kyle so much they named him al-Shaitan ("the devil") and placed a bounty on his head.

A true insight into the hidden reality of War.
What made the experience of listening to Unbroken the most enjoyable?
Beautifully written with an expert hand that has no need to use graphic violent descriptions to show the true horror.
What did you like best about this story?
It is so, so very human. No one in this book, given the circumstances they were in EVER set out to be a Hero. Their sole goal was to protect each other and survive.
What about Edward Herrmann’s performance did you like?
Brilliant! Unfortunately may narrators spoil a book for some listeners, Edward is not one of them.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I just listened in quite awe to the life story of one man, who was blessed to be loved and befriended by so many exceptional people, whom to which we should not only show thanks but be truly inspired and grateful.
Any additional comments?
I WISH,WISH,WISH that this,and all the other truly humanising accounts of war were part of the curriculum in the teaching of history. It is only with these true visualisations that any lessons may been learnt.

Outstanding true story
What an amazing humble man Louis Zamperini was.
We hear a lot of true stories and fictional works based on the Second World War in Europe, but few from the Pacific side.
Edward Hermann was a great narrator and reminded me of the voice behind those Disney movies of real life animal adventures I watched as a child.
I am not a great lover of an American narrator, but his accent was so soft and gentle, no twang or nasal inflection, to spoil this remarkable account of history.

An absolute must read
I read this on the back of Endurance (Shackleton’s story). I didn’t think anything could eclipse Endurance but this did, but in different ways. The images within this story have stayed with me and led an interest into Zamperini’s life and the horrors of the war. The brutal reality of his experience coupled with his determination for survival make this book hard to put down. The narrator is matched perfectly too.

Interesting
Informative and educational but felt more like a diary or documentary which did little to engage the reader

wasteful war
portrays how ugly and costly war is on the personality of combatants. Demonstrates the power of forgiveness.

Amazing story of survival
I don’t often like war stories but this book was brilliant. The story needs to be heard to be believed. I love the history waved in in an interesting way. I also loved the writers ability to tell the story without over glorifying the actions of people. Ten out of ten for me. Thanks a lot

Emotionally exhausting | Will stay with me.
Well and thoroughly written. Solid narrator. I almost had to take a break from listening as it was such a difficult account to digest. I learned a lot, in several respects.
Not for the faint hearted, but definitely worth a read/listen.

Incredibly powerful and moving
Unbroken, the incredible true story of Louis Zamperini, is powerful and moving. Loui's life, his resilience, strength, character, and ultimately his salvation and forgiveness of his captors show God's faithfulness and intervention in the hardest of situations. Captivatingly written by Laura Hillenbrand, I felt like I was living the story, it transported me. Edward Herrmann narrates it with so much life, feeling, and emotion, you almost feel what Louis was feeling. Highly recommended, I've been telling everyone about this book.
