ABOUT AUTHOR
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended Diablo Valley College, the University of California at Berkeley, and UCLA. I taught writing at San Jose State University and Stanford before becoming a technical writer and editor. I now write narrative nonfiction books full time. My primary interest as a writer is in bringing compelling historical events to life as vividly and accurately as I can.
I live in the country outside of Seattle, Washington with my wife, two daughters, and an assortment of cats, dogs, chickens, and honeybees. When I am not writing, I am likely to be birding, gardening, fly fishing, reading American history, or chasing bears away from the bee hives.

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.

读后感
作家格拉德威尔在《异类》一书中指出:"人们眼中的天才之所以卓越非凡，并非天资超人一等，而是付出了持续不断的努力。1万小时的锤炼是任何人从平凡变成超凡的必要条件。" "他将此称为"一万小时定律"。要成为某个领域的专家，需要10000小时，按比例计算就是:如果每天工作八个...

用户评价
知道这本书后，着急阅读，先读了给青少年的改变版本。听完之后，更加坚定了我要读完原著的决心。和女儿一起在开车的时候听的。感觉很奇妙。跟着书中描写的比赛一起激动。最后在柏林比赛的那一场，女儿自己一个人在画室听完的。她说，她举着画画的刷子，不动，坐在那里。她最为感动的是Joe和Joyce的感情，在临终前，他们还是手牵着手。她正好上完了世界历史，这本书的背景还清清楚楚地刻在脑海里，加上流畅的文笔，对人物细微的刻画，真不愧是一本一读再读的书。
评分好书啊！！！实在是好书。几年以来听过的最好非虚构。
评分A delicious meal mixed of 20th century history, American north west culture, personal and collective triumph, a love story, social and economical struggles of that era, a comprehensive study of rowing as a sport and most important of all, a collection of interesting and admirable characters.
评分把rowing写了个彻彻底底，用文字写体育还能让人一腔的鸡血，作者真是很厉害了，为这些蓝孩子骄傲～
评分Extraordinary stories of ordinary boys who lived through an amazing era. Very well written.
