One wintry afternoon in 1943, a solitary airman lies injured and exhausted in an inflatable life raft.

His name is Wing Commander Hugh ‘Jumbo’ Edwards, one of the greatest oarsmen of all time ...

Water’s Gleaming Gold is the incredible true story of the most extraordinary oarsman, Olympian, pilot, war hero and legendary British rowing coach. This is the tale of a man of courage and conviction – on a pursuit to redemption from public humiliation.

Praise for Water's Gleaming Gold:

'We modern oarsmen and women are sometimes asked to row as if our lives depended on it. It is only Jumbo Edwards from the British Olympic rowing family who had to that literally.'

Sir Matthew Pinsent, Olympian, Oxford Blue.

'A true Olympic and rowing hero, and a story that is both fascinating and truly dramatic.'

Dan Snow, Historian, Oxford Blue and Broadcaster

'One hell of a story.'
