For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Great
Depression comes the astonishing tale of nine working-class boys from
the American West who at the 1936 Olympics showed the world what true
grit really meant. With rowers who were the sons of loggers, shipyard
workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew was
never expected to defeat the elite East Coast teams, yet they did, going
on to shock the world by challenging the German boat rowing for Adolf
Hitler.
At the center of the tale is Joe Rantz, a teenager
without family or prospects, whose personal quest captures the spirit of
his generation—the generation that would prove in the coming years that
the Nazis could not prevail over American determination and optimism.
This deeply emotional yet easily accessible young readers adaptation of the award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller features never-before-seen photographs, highly visual back matter, and an exclusive new introduction.
