Requests:  1 Summary:  Berlin, 1936. The Olympic finals of the eight-oared rowing race. Germany, Italy, USA. The American boat touches the finish line first, beating all odds and sending Hitler away in a silent rage. In the midst of the Great Depression, the nine rowers showed the world what true grit really meant. They were western, working-class boys who never expected to beat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did. At the center of the tale is Joe Rantz, whose personal struggle -- and ultimate triumph -- captures the spirit of his generation, the one that would prove in the coming years that the Nazis could not prevail over American determination and optimism.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Kaimuki Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.12309 Br Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.12309 Br Checked out 05/20/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.12309 Br Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.12309 Br Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 797.12309 Br Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 797.12309 Br Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Bookmobile YA -- Nonfiction 797.12309 Br Checked In   Add Copy to MyList           Add Copy to MyList
