In this riveting book, author Daniel James Brown tells the true story of the University of Washington's eight-oar crew and their quest for a gold medal at the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin. As the sons of working-class families, the nine crew members were 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. Drawing from the boys' own diaries, journals, and photos, The Boys in the Boat is an inspirational tale about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times.
