Today, I've got a review of THE BOYS IN THE BOAT: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold by Daniel James Brown. It's a book I read because Morris read it and raved about it. He read it because his cousin Sel put it in his hands after raving about it. Sel read it because one or both of his sons and daughters-in-law read it and raved about it. It's pretty much that kind of book.
If you want an example of excellent narrative nonfiction, this one's for you.
