This week on The Cover, we dive into Unbroken, the remarkable true story of Louis Zamperini — Olympic runner, WWII bombardier, castaway, and prisoner of war. Hillenbrand’s book takes us through a journey of endurance, resilience, and redemption that reads more like an epic novel than history.

We’ll unpack Zamperini’s transformation from rebellious kid to Olympic hopeful, his harrowing survival at sea, the brutality of POW camps, and the unbreakable spirit that carried him through it all. Along the way, we’ll talk about what makes this story so powerful, what the book leaves you wrestling with, and how it stacks up against the film adaptation.

If you love stories of grit, faith, and the resilience of the human spirit, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
