About Laura Hillenbrand
- Laura Hillenbrand (born May 15, 1967) is an American author of books and magazine articles.
- Her two bestselling nonfiction books, Seabiscuit: An American Legend (2001) and Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption (2010), have sold over 13 million copies, and each was adapted for film.
- Her writing style is distinct from New Journalism, dropping "verbal pyrotechnics" in favor of a stronger focus on the story itself. Hillenbrand fell ill in college and was unable to complete her degree.
- She shared that experience in an award-winning essay, A Sudden Illness, published in The New Yorker in 2003.
- 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."
