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.

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended Diablo Valley College, the University of California at Berkeley, and UCLA.

專注+信任可以創造奇跡,真實又勵誌的故事,作者寫得狗血瞭一點
評分一個月時間每天睡前半小時,陪華盛頓大學的九個好小夥兒經曆瞭傳奇的賽艇青春,久違的捨不得看完一本書的感覺,不捨得和老朋友說再見。希望能收到華盛頓大學的offer,和小夥子們成為校友,去親眼看看那艘至今還在校園裏珍藏激勵一代又一代年輕人的傳奇賽艇。
評分知道這本書後,著急閱讀,先讀瞭給青少年的改變版本。聽完之後,更加堅定瞭我要讀完原著的決心。和女兒一起在開車的時候聽的。感覺很奇妙。跟著書中描寫的比賽一起激動。最後在柏林比賽的那一場,女兒自己一個人在畫室聽完的。她說,她舉著畫畫的刷子,不動,坐在那裏。她最為感動的是Joe和Joyce的感情,在臨終前,他們還是手牽著手。她正好上完瞭世界曆史,這本書的背景還清清楚楚地刻在腦海裏,加上流暢的文筆,對人物細微的刻畫,真不愧是一本一讀再讀的書。
評分看完之後為這項運動和世紀前的8名運動員教練鼓掌????????????????????????????????
