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. They were the unlikeliest of heroes. Rene Dreyfus, a former top driver on the international racecar circuit, had been banned from the best European teams--and fastest cars--by the mid-1930s because of his Jewish heritage. Charles Weiffenbach, head of the down-on-its-luck automaker Delahaye, was desperately trying to save his company as the world teetered toward the brink. And Lucy Schell, the adventurous daughter of an American multi-millionaire, yearned to reclaim the glory of her rally-driving days. As Nazi Germany launched its campaign of racial terror and pushed the world toward war, these three misfits banded together to challenge Hitler's dominance at the apex of motorsport: the Grand Prix. Their quest for redemption culminated in a remarkable race that is still talked about in racing circles to this day--but which, soon after it ended, Hitler attempted to completely erase from history. 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.Binding Type: Hardcover

Divider doesn’t work
Color: Stainless Steel
Size is great. Quality is great except for the divider, which doesn’t work at all. It’s too loose and doesn’t stay on

Something I never knew I needed, and now can’t live without!
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
Absolutely perfect, high quality organizer. I was constantly reaching under the kitchen cupboards for sponges and drain stoppers which then cluttered up the sink while letting them dry before putting away. I love the size and option to put the basket on the outside edge for more space. It holds everything I need. I especially like the stone underneath so I can place it anywhere and not have to worry about a drain spout. Keeps my sink and counters clean and organized and looks great in my kitchen.

Best kitchen caddy!
Color: Black, Size: Large
This is the best kitchen caddy. It works well on the edge of my sink. It's a little bigger than I thought. My measurements were off, not there's. I propped up one side and it works beautifully. It holds all the sponges, soap, and cleaning utensils needed to clean your dishes. Now my kitchen sink is clutter-free. It also looks great!
