It was the 1930s, at the height of the Great Depression and the dawn of the Nazi party’s ascendance to power, and the school had never been able to beat the Ivy League teams, but coach Al Ulbrickson had big ambitions—he just needed the right athletes.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Over the next few years, the boys of the UW rowing team endured grueling days of training and countless setbacks. In the end, it was their collective dedication that brought them to compete in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin—and beat the team rowing for Adolf Hitler.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e A \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller and the inspiration for the PBS documentary \u003ci\u003eThe Boys of ’36\u003c\/i\u003e, Daniel James Brown’s \u003ci\u003eThe Boys in the Boat \u003c\/i\u003eis a celebration of the human spirit and a compelling biography of a unique rowing team that brought home Olympic gold.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.","brand":"Worth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167704039664,"sku":"9781504043083","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781504043083_p0.jpg?v=1769897527","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781504043083","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
