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

adventurous challenging dark informative sad tense fast-paced

4.0

A super fast, harrowing read about the doomed voyage of The Wager.   I enjoyed the wealth of information and was swept along in the story.  These men were making doing their best to make decisions in absolutely horrific circumstances where there are no good choices and there is no clear "moral" avenue.  

Overall, a super interesting read.

Note: This was read for Popsugar Reading Challenge "A book about Pirates", though... I would classify this as more "pirate adjacent".  No actual pirates here.
