Triumph, camaraderie, against 1930s and Nazi backdrop.

If you're drawn to underdog stories, "The Boys in the Boat" will resonate with you deeply—it's not just about rowing; it's about the human spirit overcoming adversity. The relentless determination of Joe Rantz and his crewmates as they journey from obscurity to the 1936 Berlin Olympics is both heart-wrenching and uplifting. Daniel James Brown's vivid storytelling not only places you inside the shell with the team, but also immerses you in the era's social and political tensions, making it a gripping read from start to finish.
