The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder by David Grann

adventurous dark informative tense medium-paced

4.0

Grann sure knows how to write compelling non-fiction! This is a thoroughly researched exploration of true events through the words of those who experienced them. What I think I liked most was Grann's constant reminder of the British mindset of compliance and cultural supremacy that influened their actions and warped their experiences. Overall an interesting read, although sometimes I got bogged down in the details of wooden ships.
