"In this book on the spectacular races at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic
Games, Bill Stowe writes with the same deadly accuracy and drive
that he showed as the stroke of that crew. He writes not as his own
remembrances would be so long after the fact, but rather in the
tightly woven factual web of interviews of rowers from around the
world. This is a compelling book because it develops the diverse
backgrounds and experiences that a small group of men brought for
the sole purpose of winning a gold medal in the Olympics. It was so
momentous that this feat has not been repeated for the United
States for 40 years, and then only with the force of a truly
national effort and all of the weight and backing that that brings.
Vesper is a storied club and it is in this romantic context that
this group of lightly regarded mature men won for their club, their
city and their country. Each man brings a special facet of himself
to build the mosaic that created the perfect mix. This is a
compelling story, intricately researched and crisply written that
makes it a must for people who dream and who want to succeed."
