For readers of Laura Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit and Unbroken, the dramatic story of the American rowing team that stunned the world at Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics
Daniel James Brown’s robust book tells 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.
Drawing on the boys’ own diaries and journals, their photos and memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, The Boys in the Boat is an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate story of nine working-class boys from the American west who, in the depths of the Great Depression, showed the world what true grit really meant. It will appeal to readers of Erik Larson, Timothy Egan, James Bradley, and David Halberstam's The Amateurs.

用戶評價
太好的故事，太詩意的文筆
评分hard work, not much glory, but still popular in every century, there must besomebeauty which ordinary men can’t see,but extraordinary men do
评分完全沒有想到這本書那麼好看！本來以為無非是一堆猛男打雞血的故事，沒想到作者把個人的成長和社會的背景都描繪得非常細膩，文字非常好。
评分能看得進去奧運賽艇瞭。
评分對劃艇運動一點不懂，也不大感冒，開始部分講美國大蕭條部分還比較吸引人，後麵大學裏的部分聽得有點悶，而且提不起興趣，放棄瞭。
