True Blue: The Oxford Boat Race Mutiny

The book, and the "mutiny" itself, continue to divide rowers even 29 years afterwards. British Olympic champion oarsman Martin Cross describes the book as "... one of the most entertaining (if not wholly accurate) sports books ever written ...", and refers to its treatment of one of the American "mutineers", Chris Clark, in the following terms: "As character assassinations go, it is ruthless." Alison Gill, an Oxford oarswoman at the time of the "mutiny", wrote The Yanks at Oxford, a book that attempted to counter the perceived bias in Topolski's account. ==See also==
