Heinrich Harrer (6 July 1912 – 7 January 2006) was an Austrian mountaineer, sportsman, geographer, and author. He was a member of the four-man climbing team that made the first ascent of the North Face of the Eiger in Switzerland. He wrote the books Seven Years in Tibet (1952) and The White Spider (1959). The author escaped from a British internment camp in India during World War II and his dramatic trek through rugged Himalayan passes to sanctuary in the Forbidden City of Lhasa. In 1948, Harrer became a salaried official of the Tibetan government, translating foreign news and acting as the Court photographer. Harrer first met the 14th Dalai Lama when he was summoned to the Potala Palace and asked to make a film about ice skating, which Harrer had introduced to Tibet. A strong friendship developed between the two that would last the rest of their lives. More

New York: Random House, 2010. Sixth Printing [stated]. Hardcover. xviii, 473, [5] pages. Map. Illustrations. Notes. Index. The true story of a forgotten hero, Lt. Louis Zamperini, a World War II prisoner-of-war survivor. After his B-24 bomber crashed in the Pacific in 1941, he was captured by the Japanese, held at Ofuna, and severely beaten and mistreated by the sadistic Mutsuhiro Watanabe until the end of the war. Laura Hillenbrand (born May 15, 1967) is an American author of books and magazine articles. Her two best-selling nonfiction books, Seabiscuit: An American Legend (2001) and Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption (2010), have been adapted for film. Her writing style is distinct from New Journalism, dropping 'verbal pyrotechnics' in favor of a stronger focus on the story itself. Her books were written while she was disabled by that illness. In a 2014 interview, Bob Schieffer said to Laura Hillenbrand: "To me your story – battling your disease... is as compelling as his (Louis Zamperini's) story." Hillenbrand's essays have appeared in The New Yorker, Equus magazine, American Heritage, The Blood-Horse, Thoroughbred Times, The Backstretch, Turf and Sport Digest, and other publications. Her 1998 American Heritage article on the horse Seabiscuit won the Eclipse Award for Magazine Writing. In 2015, she was interviewed by James Rosen, about how she had written Unbroken; She mentioned how her subject, Louis Zamperini, inspired her in facing her own life problems, with his unfailing optimism. Zamperini had read her essay about her own illness, which was partly why he opened up about his life so thoroughly. More
