The 'Unbroken' Spirit Of An Ordinary Hero : NPR The 'Unbroken' Spirit Of An Ordinary Hero Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption Laura Hillenbrand is shaping up to be the Woody Guthrie of contemporary narrative historians. It's not just that she has an affinity for singing the ballads of dark horses, who through tenacity, luck and a lot of heart turn themselves into folk legends. It's also that Hillenbrand has a gift for recovering the spirit of mid-20th century America — its despair, sure, but also its humor and its graceful refusal to put on airs.
