All Together: The Formidable Journey to the Gold with the 1964 Olympic Crew ReviewThe magnificent sport of rowing --- America's oldest intercollegiate competition --- has a thin but distinguished library. "All Together" embellishes that shelf. And who better to tell the extraordinary story of the Vesper Boat Club crew than Bill Stowe, the premier oarsman in the stroke seat that stunning year of 1964? This is a people book, for readers who may not know an oar from an orange. The eight oarsmen, and the 43-year-old refugee coxswain from Hungary, were certainly a disparate group. Stowe tells how they assembled, how they argued, how they were directed, and how they came to win sport's foremost crown. And how they survived life thereafter.All Together: The Formidable Journey to the Gold with the 1964 Olympic Crew Overview"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."Allen P. RosenbergCoach of the 1964 Olympic Crew"ALL TOGETHER is an inspirational story about one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history. A must read for any American who has ever picked up an oar"Mike TetiCoach of the 2004 Olympic Crew
