Laura Hillenbrand

Unbroken

In the acknowledgments, Hillenbrand describes a seven-year reporting effort involving interviews, family papers, diaries, correspondence, military documents and other records. She reports conducting about seventy-five interviews with Zamperini and comparing his recollections with other sources. These are the author’s statements about her work, not an independent assessment of its reliability.

Author’s acknowledgments; the note on citation conventions separately explains that the Zamperini interviews are not individually dated. · lines 5526–5532
