The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a Christmas present to my husband from my daughter, and I started reading before he did.
Yes, I think he will enjoy it. I know I did. This author told the story of the races so well, I could feel my breath and pulse grow more rapid as if I were a spectator watching as it occurred.
I highly recommend it to readers who enjoy reading histories of individuals as history is being made. I understand there is also a younger reader's edition of this book that is well-written.
