Rosemary F. (canadianeh) reviewed on 12/13/2014 + 242 more book reviews

Well documented and peppered with interesting photos, this is the tale of 9 young Americans who challenge the elite of Britain and Hitler's rowing team. Central to this story of achievement is Joe Rantz, an orphan who redeems his self-esteem and rouses Americans during the era of the Great Depression. Full of amazing detailed side stories and description, you can pick this book up anywhere and find forward momentum. A bit melodramatic in it's heroism, but nevertheless a story of remarkable achievement.
