Publisher's Synopsis

Chris Dodd's Pieces of Eight is a ripping yarn that records the feat of a Czech coach who arrived in Britain with no English in hand-picking a squad to set his adopted country on course for the Redgrave era on the rowing gold standard. Janousek's revolution changed the social map of British rowing and set it on a long climb to top nation as the London 2012 Olympic regatta approaches.
