A story about the 1932 Olympics and more importantly bobsledding. Though the book speaks of four men it really focuses on one mainly, Billy Fiske, at least that is what I took from it. Not that I am complaining he was part of the winning bobsled team of 1928 and 1932 being the driver of both, he also was carried the flag at the 1932 Olympics for the U.S. He then would go on and fly for Britain only to be one of the first American flyers to be killed in 1940 even before we entered the war. He was also part of a ski lodge in Colorado. The other three men are spoken about and I wish they would have been gone into more detail for their lives seemed just as fascinating but it was not the case. Overall a good book

Great sports book that, in the end, is about more than sports. Author does a nice job balancing a character driven story about interesting people, yet still makes it about the big picture.
