Synopsis

Larry Ellison had poured more than $200 million into his latest America’s Cup campaign, but Oracle Team USA was down 1-8. New Zealand needed just one more win. Oracle ultimately beat back the odds. But how? No one knew until G. Bruce Knecht wrote The Comeback, his pulse-pounding, revelation-filled account of the team’s desperate stop-at-nothing campaign.
