    Synopsis
    The #1 New York Times -bestselling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany and now the inspiration for the PBS documentary "The Boys of '36'." For readers of Unbroken , out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times--the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West 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 real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys' own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, 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., Now a Major Motion Picture Directed by George Clooney The #1 New York Times -bestselling story about the American Olympic rowing triumph in Nazi Germany--from the author of Facing the Mountain .

The service was fast and easy, they gave me an incredible offer I couldn't refuse, and I greatly appreciate it! The book looks like it came right from the store so it looks great, so great quality overall! Shipping was fast & they packaged it per the norm for book stores so everything was A++++. I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for sure & will buy from them again!

      I would DEFINITELY purchase from this seller again. Seller might want to add more pics and better description because there was a tear on the back dust jacket that wasn’t mentioned. Could’ve happened during shipping so I’m not holding it against the seller. I fixed with tape on the inside of jacket. No harm/no foul. The seller had a more than generous price for this book + free shipping. NO complaints. Hence, I would purchase from this seller again without hesitation.

      Great Sports Book

      Perhaps the best sports book I have read.... better than Chariots of Fire. Very inspiring as well. A tale of the rowing crew from the University of Washington who not only won almost all their intercollegiate races in the 1930's but went on to win the 1936 Olympics. The story focuses on one character who overcame immense odds starting when he was 10 years old, to his success in life. It is also about Depression era America. Read this book!!!

      It's a soft cover book but large size for easy reading

      The book is in fine condition and I it is a book that I have wanted to read so, I am pleased to have it at a reasonable price. I would have liked hard cover but the book is good for the price. The true story is fascinating to read. Five stars for the content and the physical book is what I expected.

      Says it all

      I rate this book up there with "Killers of the Flower Moon", "Unbroken", "Seabiscuit" and a number of other GREAT books. It is a lot more than the story of a college rowing crew going to the 1936 Olympics. It is another illustration of why my parent's generation were the GREATEST. It also gives an "eyewitness" account of the Great Depression and the rise of Hitler in Germany. A must read.

      tried to be there, now I know how they did that

      This novel helped give a perspective to my experience of rowing at the University of Oregon. In 1969-70 the freshman coach was first year grad student David Thompson, who graduated the previous year from U of W and the Husky crew. The book gave me a deeper insight into the genealogy of our rowing style, the historical perspective of our beautiful cedar Pocock racing shells, and our coaches relation other rowing programs, especially California's. The book is absolutely a must read for any American oarsperson and their friends or family. They can not help but benefit learning the history it contains. I doubt it will disappoint anyone else..

      The Boys in the Boat is a novel that draws you into the life of these people.

      A terrific book. This author catches the reader's interest in the first chapter. This is a great look back to life of Americans during this time, and how they survived during the Depression and Dust Storms of the West.
