Summary of Laura Hillenbrand's Unbroken

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1929, a boy in California watched as the German dirigible Graf Zeppelin flew over his house, putting out the stars. The airship was three days from completing a spectacular feat of aeronautics: circumnavigation of the globe. #2 Louis Silvie Zamperini was a boy who was born in 1917. He had an uncommonly clever mind, and he was untamable. When he grew up, he began a one-boy insurgency. #3 Louie was a thief in Torrance, California. He would steal food from houses, and would sometimes even break into people’s houses to steal their food. He was often chased by people he had robbed, and at least two people threatened to shoot him. #4 Louie was a different kind of kid than Pete. He was small, and in his first years in Torrance, his lungs were still damaged from the pneumonia he had contracted when he was young. His features were growing at different rates, and his ears leaned sidelong off his head like holstered pistols.
