Various Digital Retailers have Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption (eBook) on sale for $1.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

  • Author: Laura Hillenbrand
  • Print Length: 671 pages
  • On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane's bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.
  • The lieutenant's name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he'd been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.
  • Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.

It's amazing how quickly you've prejudged a book before reading it. It's not preachy at all. In fact, he's not trying to convert the reader; he's just explaining how his conversion saved him from the incredible hatred he developed and that he would have self-destructed if he had not been able to forgive. It's a great book, even for an agnostic.

This is absolutely my most favorite book, I take so much inspiration from it of what a human is capable of over coming and I genuinely find myself thinking about this book during hard times.

Despite great reviews, I found this novel to be boring. Its interesting since I liked Boys in the boat a lot and thought would be similarly impressed with this. Tried to read it multiple times. Perhaps, its her style of writing or something else. However, I would say that given that majority of people do like this book, and its $2, probably worth getting it.

This is one of the best books I've read in the last few years and I read a lot. Truly the Greatest Generation and gives you the feel of what these Men went through. Very well written and grabs your attention from the start.

Exactly. The preaching has already started before the first page. Will never pay for an ebook regardless, physical media or bust

If I wanted something preachy I'd go to church. Fortunately, we do have choices in life, regardless if I "give it to God"
