ToW 16: The Boys on the Boat Part 2

     The Boys on the Boat ends with an exciting final boat race, and the team that the book follows wins. However, while this may be the focus of the book, the second half of the book also looks at Hitler's role in the Olympic games. How he commanded the creation of the building of the Olympic Village, and how he covered up the cruel treatment of those unfortunate enough to suffer through the holocaust. 

     The book doesn't end after the big race, however. It also covers how the racing team from poor families fade to nearly nothing after their brief moment in the spotlight, but how they still lead lives that were better than where they had come from.
