Told chronologically and driven by the pursuit of the final victory, the result is a breathtaking portrait of a deeply historical race marked by sharp contrasts - and one in which every sports person will recognize at least a little of themselves., As the Cambridge University Boat Club prepared for the 2007 Boat Race, Mark de Rond - a Cambridge don and fellow of Darwin College - spent a year living the blood, sweat and tears of the 39 students risking all for a chance to challenge Oxford.

Founded in 1828, the Cambridge University Boat Club has one objective: to beat Oxford in the Boat Race. This annual affair is one of sharp contrasts. A private match between two of the world's oldest universities, yet followed by millions worldwide; an occasion marked by tribal rivalry but also a deep mutual respect. Quintessentially British, it is contested by amateurs who are nevertheless world-class sportsmen, and watched by 120 million people worldwide. It is all about taking part and yet the pain of losing is unimaginable. Mark de Rond spent a year living the blood, sweat and tears of the 39 students risking all for a chance to race Oxford, seeing in them everything he is not. This intense and deeply personal account reinforces the great traditions of Oxbridge but gives them a human face. For despite their brilliance, these individuals are flawed too. So what does it take to row in the coveted Blue Boat? In this thrilling book De Rond delves into the depths of what it means to be a man and the primeval desire to compete. Told chronologically and driven by the pursuit of the final victory, the result is truly compelling and a sports book like no other.
