Boys on the Boat - book review

I just finished the book, "The Boys on the Boat".  It is a story about a hodge podge group of rowers from the University of Washington who, against all odds, went to the 1936 Olympics and won a gold medal!

Super interesting book from the perspective of the details of the sport of rowing, human strength against adversity, the history of  Nazi Germany and the Depression era in the US.  It is well worth the time to read it.
