"Boys in the Boat" by Daniel James Brown is an inspiring true story that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit. The book chronicles the journey of nine working-class American boys who defied all odds to win gold in rowing at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression and the rise of Nazi Germany, Brown's narrative is a vivid account of how these young men from the University of Washington transformed their gritty determination and raw talent into an epic sports achievement.
In this interview, which originally took place in 2013, Brown gives us the back-story of his compelling New York Times’ Best Seller “The Boys in the Boat.” Join us as he describes the six-year journey he took to research his novel and write the story that reveals the heart and dedication of not just the nine boys in the boat, but the people of that entire generation.

Excellent interview. I’m trying to see all available. I had one canoe ride on the Montlake cut when a student in the 60s. Walked across campus from the old women’s dorms early morning Winter Qtr in the cold rainy weather to an algebra class in lower campus. Weather precisely as described by Dan Brown. Of course passing by Suzzallo Library and fountain. Beautiful campus. And remember all: Univ of Washington is “U Dub.” I grind my teeth every time Bay Area basketball team uses Dub. No No No Not yours. Fans, Media, stop using UW’s nickname. WE Wash huskies are U Dub and should be representing the Pac-12 at the Rose Bowl, our traditional venue.
