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 On the 1936 Olympics showed the world what true grit truly meant. With rowers who were the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew was once 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.
 
On the center of the tale is Joe Rantz, a young person without circle of relatives or prospects, whose personal quest captures the spirit of his generation—the generation that would end up within the coming years that the Nazis could not prevail over American determination and optimism.
