Jesse Owens wasn't the only athlete to stun the world at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. The Boys in the Boat details the journey of the nine-man crew team from the University of Washington - blue-collar rowers that defeated the teams of elite U.S. and British universities before defeating Adolf Hitler's German crew team. Brown uses team diaries and journals to weave a timeless epic of a team's fortitude in the face of overwhelming odds.
