Louis Zamperinia (Torrance HS; USC)
Published on Jun 3, 2012
Author Laura Hillenbrand spent seven years researching and writing her bestselling book "Unbroken, a moving portrait of a heroic subject, Louis Zamperini, now 94. Yet during all those years, while learning all the details of his gallant life - the Olympic track star, the World War II hero, the Christian role model - she never once met him.
They account for their mutual understandings as survivors of enormous suffering - Zamperini, who during the war was adrift on a raft in the Pacific Ocean after his B-24 went down and was then tortured for the duration of the war by a sadistic Japanese prison guard; and Hillenbrand, who was struck in mid-life by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, making it often impossible for her to get out of bed, let alone write.
