Copies of The Boys in the Boat are ready and waiting to be checked out. The book chronicles the remarkable true story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal. The sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the boys defeated elite rivals, first from eastern and British universities, and finally, the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler in the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin. Pick up a copy and start reading. You won't want to miss out on the book discussions and other programs we're planning. We want everyone to be part of Andover Reads 2016.
