Unbroken by Robert Hillenbrand

Hillenbrand tells the story of Louis Amperini, a runner who went to fight in the Second World War. When he's finally rescued at the end of the war, and I'll never forget this, he says he'd rather die than go through it all again. Because it shows you what human beings can endure when we take things one day at a time. An almost unfathomable amount of pain and suffering and sacrifice. We are so strong and so powerful when we, as Louis did, take the battle day by day.
