Facing The Mountain


From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Boys in the Boat comes the gripping untold story of one of the most heroic units that fought in World War II On December 7th 1941, the Japanese Navy bombed Pearl Harbor. For many Americans, the surprise attack was a call to arms - but for the soldier sons of Japanese-American immigrant parents, it brought prejudice and scrutiny over where their loyalties lay. In Facing the Mountain, Daniel James Brown tells the unforgettable story of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, the Japanese-American heroes who displayed incredible courage on the brutal battlefields of Europe. Achieving the impossible in often near-suicidal missions, including rescuing a 'lost battalion' surrounded by Nazis in the French mountains, the 442nd went on to become one of the most decorated units in history. Yet at the same time, their parents were put in camps and stripped of their livelihoods, and an equally brave battle was being fought in the courtroom back home. A cinematic tour de force, Facing the Mountain puts a real-life band of brothers in the history books where they belong and reminds us that victory is rarely as simple as we think.

Hrdinové ve člunu


Od samého začátku to byl bláhový sen. Nikdo nečekal, že by posádka osmiveslice Washingtonské univerzity, složená ze synů dřevorubců, dělníků a farmářů, mohla porazit elitní týmy z Východního pobřeží a Velké Británie, a přesto to dokázali. Nakonec šokovali celý svět, když porazili i tým Německa, který vesloval pro Adolfa Hitlera na olympijských hrách v roce 1936 v Berlíně. Příběh se točí kolem Josepha Rantze, mladíka bez rodiny a budoucnosti, který se snaží najít díky sportu ztracenou sebeúctu. Autor čerpal ze vzpomínek pamětníků i deníků samotných sportovců a ve své knize vytvořil nejen kroniku životního příběhu jednoho výjimečného mladého muže, ale i nezapomenutelný obraz pohnuté doby.

The Boys In The Boat


Cast aside by his family at an early age, abandoned and left to fend for himself in the woods of Washington State, young Joe Rantz turns to rowing as a way of escaping his past. What follows is an extraordinary journey, as Joe and eight other working-class boys exchange the sweat and dust of life in 1930s America for the promise of glory at the heart of Hitler’s Berlin. Stroke by stroke, a remarkable young man strives to regain his shattered self-regard, to dare again to trust in others – and to find his way back home. Told against the backdrop of the Great Depression, Daniel James Brown's The Boys in the Boat is narrative non-fiction of the first order; a personal story full of lyricism and unexpected beauty that rises above the grand sweep of history, and captures instead the purest essence of what it means to be alive.
