Daniel James Brown writes narrative non-fiction about endurance, history and groups facing extreme physical or political pressure. The Boys in the Boat follows the University of Washington rowing team that competed at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, combining training, class background and the mechanics of rowing with the wider context of Depression-era America and Nazi Germany. Facing the Mountain turns to Japanese American soldiers during the Second World War and the families affected by incarceration in the United States. Brown's writing is accessible, chronological and character-driven, using individual participants to lead readers through larger historical events. His work fits sports history, Second World War narrative non-fiction and group biography. Read more Less
