7:00 PM – OrangeREADS UNBROKEN Book Discussion
There will be a book discussion of Laura Hillenbrand’s book, “Unbroken,” led by Tom Dames, Adjunct Prof. of History & Geography at Mount Saint Mary College. Register at the library and receive a copy of the book.
In May 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific and quickly sank, leaving behind only two survivors bobbing helplessly in the restless seas. One of them was Louis Zamperini, a 26-year-old airman who had overcome a troubled past to become an Olympic athlete. After 47 perilous days adrift on a raft, Zamperini and his companion survivor were rescued by the Japanese navy. He remained a prisoner of war until the end of hostilities. This riveting narrative, by the author of Seabiscuit, is the story of one plucky man. Louis Zamperini died July 2, 2014, at the age of 97.
