The inspiration for the Major Motion Picture Directed by George Clooney—exclusively in theaters December 25, 2023! This #1 New York Times bestseller tells the true story of how nine working-class boys on the American rowing team showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, author Daniel James Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest. Paperback, 432 pages.

Fantastic book!
Review by Chris P. review stating Fantastic book!
An unforgettable, well-researched, compelling story of courage, heartbreak, and forging lifelong friendships through beating all the odds against this team of poor college students from the small towns of the Northwest. Cannot recommend highly enough.

My friends had seen the movie and liked it. One had read the book first and recommended it. So I bought the book, read it, enjoyed it and now will see the movie when I can. Quick shipping and well packed.
