Boys in the Boar

This week I read Boys in the Boat, it is about the olympic rowing team for the 1936 olympics in Berlin. This is during the time when Hitler rose to power in Germany. It talks about the end of the great depression as well the beginning of war in Europe. It shows how hard that generation had to work as well their perseverance through some of the toughest times in American history. I thought that the writing was incredible and while staying true to history, it was very intriguing and I wanted to read the entire book.
