The Boys in the Boat

Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics
Apr 23, 2018jontalk rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
In many ways this is a Pulitzer Prize winner given the superior storytelling. We immerse into the world of skull racing which eventually takes us to the Berlin Olympics during the Nazi occupation. While not focused entirely on Joe Rantz, his story inspires by his ability to become mentally tough, find joy and be compassionate while learning the underlying elements of teamwork. Fast paced, illuminating and well crafted, this is a book that opens our eyes, hearts and minds to possibility. Highly recommended!
