Seabiscuit: An American Legend tells the story of an undersized racehorse who became a Depression‑era icon. Laura Hillenbrand follows Seabiscuit, his owner, trainer, and jockey through injuries, setbacks, and improbable comebacks, turning archival research into a narrative that reads like a novel. The book is as much about class, spectacle, and the search for a hero as it is about racing itself.

WHY WE PICKED IT
Because it’s narrative nonfiction at its most propulsive and humane. Seabiscuit is a great pick for readers who like sports stories, American history, or simply well‑told true tales with real emotional stakes.
