Men of Kent Ten Boys, A Fast Boat, And The

Men of Kent traces the fate of ten ordinary boys and their coach from Kent, Connecticut, who found themselves in extraordinary circumstances during the spring and summer of 1972. That year the Kent School's crew, of which the author was a part, was undefeated against 46 other crews, broke three course records, and claimed a national championship. Its final race, at the fabled Henley royal Regatta in England-a race broadcast on television worldwide-merited a banner headline in the New York Times sports section, and is regarded as one of the most breathtaking finished in Henley's long history.
