Unbroken

It took me a few years to get past my usual aversion to war memoirs, but I'm glad I finally read Unbroken. It reads like a novel, gripping, scary (sharks OMG) and moving. Historically, it filled in a lot of the blanks in my knowledge about Japanese POW camps; I had always gathered that they were bad, bid never knew the extent of the horror those POWs lived through. The story is beyond inspiring.
