Daniel James Brown's robust book tells the story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans.

When The Maclean Brothers rowed non-stop and unsupported across the Pacific - the largest ocean on the planet - they made history. A few years before the journey, they were complete novices.

Nail-biting and inspirational, this is the extraordinary true story of how they survived the crossing.
