The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, by Daniel James Brown

adventurous emotional inspiring slow-paced

4.25

An inspiring and informative story about the men’s 8 that took gold in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. There is a lot of detail about the sport of rowing, which might be boring to those who have no interest in the sport, but I really appreciated it. If you don’t want to hear about stroke rates, this is probably not the book for you.
