Summary:
"The story of the University of Washington's
1936
eight-oar crew and
their
epic
quest
for an Olympic
gold
medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of
Americans
. The sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the
boys
defeated elite rivals first from eastern and British universities and finally the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler in the Olympic games in Berlin,
1936
. The emotional heart of the story lies with one rower, Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not for glory, but to regain his shattered self-regard and to find a place he can call home. The crew is assembled by an enigmatic coach and mentored by a visionary, eccentric British
boat
builder, but it is
their
trust in each other that makes them a victorious team. They remind the country of what can be done when everyone quite literally pulls together--a perfect melding of commitment, determination, and optimism."--Publisher.
