For fans of The Boys in the Boat and In the Garden of Beasts, a
pulse-pounding tale of triumph by an improbable team of upstarts over
Hitler's fearsome Silver Arrows during the golden age of auto racing
As Nazi Germany launched its campaign of racial terror and pushed the
world toward war, three unlikely heroes--a driver banned from the best
European teams because of his Jewish heritage, the owner of a faltering
automaker company, and the adventurous daughter of an American
multimillionaire--banded together to challenge Hitler's dominance at the
Grand Prix, the apex of motorsport. Bringing to life this glamorous era
and the sport that defined it, Faster chronicles one of the most
inspiring, death-defying upsets of all time: a symbolic blow against the
Nazis during history's darkest hour.
