During the height of the Cold War, a group of small-town young men would lead their underdog hockey team from the little country of Czechoslovakia against the Soviet Union, the juggernaut in their sport. As they battled on the ice, the young players would keep their people's quest for freedom alive, and forge a way to fight back against the authoritarian forces that sought to crush them. Freedom to Win tells a story that ranges from iconic moments in history to courageous individual stories.

Freedom to Win is an excellent book. If you enjoyed the stories of the Summit Series, the Miracle on Ice, Beartown, Bruce Berglund's "Fastest Game on Earth," or anything from Andrew Maraniss, this book is for you. Sadly, the book is seriously sold short by the narrator. I could forgive some pronunciation quirks (as a Czech, I know our language is a pain). But the accents? Please, no. Slapping a vague "Eastern European" accent on everyone from Czechoslovakia was not very satisfying.
In summary, the book is great, and I thoroughly recommend it. But as an audiobook, it leaves a bit to be desired.
