Publisher's Summary:
You need to listen to this book if you want to dive deeper into the world of Daniel James Brown. This is a summary and analysis and not the original book.
The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics is written by best-selling author Daniel James Brown, the author of two riveting historical novels The Indifferent Stars Above and Under a Flaming Sky.
The Boys in the Boat is a gripping story about American Olympic glory in Nazi Germany from unlikely heroes: sons of farmers, loggers, and shipyard workers, specifically Joe Rantz, a young man abandoned by his family at the age of 15.
The story is built from interviews with Joe and his family in addition to excerpts from journals from the young men who made history in the Olympics, primarily known for Jesse Owens victory in Berlin.

Inspiring narration
I love stories that depict underdogs and misfits overcoming the predictions of the masses. On the other hand I would like to see narrators do their homework especially in the area of pronunciation. In this book the town of Sequim is not a two syllable word and should be pronounced skwim.
