"Seabiscuit" by Laura Hillenbrand tells the incredible true story of a small, undersized racehorse who became one of the most famous horses in American history. Set during the Great Depression, Seabiscuit was an unlikely hero—lazy, short-tempered, and slow at first—but he found greatness under the guidance of three unlikely men: a struggling jockey, an eccentric trainer, and an ambitious owner. The book explores their lives and how their determination turned Seabiscuit into a symbol of hope for millions. Seabiscuit’s victory over favored horses captivated the nation. His legendary 1938 race against War Admiral, a Triple Crown winner, is still considered one of the greatest horse races of all time. Hillenbrand’s gripping narrative takes you behind the scenes of Seabiscuit’s rise, showing how heart, courage, and belief in the underdog can lead to greatness.
