Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand

I just finished reading Unbroken. I found it to be one of the best works of nonfiction I've ever read. Laura Hillenbrand, author of Seabiscuit, spent seven years writing her latest, and I think it was worth every minute. The degree and depth of research, the vast scope of the story, and the author's skill at writing have resulted in what I consider a masterpiece. Just my opinion, of course.
