The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann
4.0
adventurous dark emotional informative tense medium-paced
Hard to imagine how much time and research must’ve gone into writing this book. An impressive feat on that basis alone. A marvelous recreation of what happened and lots of history to learn. Curious that the island is still called Wager Island instead of whatever the Indigenous call it, but that’s part of the story too. Was fascinated by Lord John Byron’s role. Had only ever known him as a poet.
