From Library Journal:

Conner holds a unique place in the history of the America's Cup: He was the first to lose it and the first to win it back. Comeback is Conner's story from that heartbreaking loss to the triumphant 4-0 series win. Though Conner discusses the politics and money management involved in mounting a Cup attempt, most of the book details the races and the men who sailed them. We see each of the races Conner sailed to earn the right to challenge for the Cup and each of the four races necessary to bring the Cup home. A brief glossary of sailing terms, the crew and team rosters, and the race results are included.

The America's Cup, affectionately known as the "Auld Mug", is a trophy awarded to the winner of the America's Cup match races between two sailing yachts. One yacht, known as the defender, represents the yacht club that currently holds the America's Cup and the second yacht, known as the challenger, represents the yacht club that is challenging for the cup. The timing of each match is determined by an agreement between the defender and the challenger. The America's Cup is the oldest international sporting trophy.
