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

adventurous dark informative medium-paced

4.0

"Empires preserve their power with the stories that they tell, but just as critical are the stories they don't - the dark silences they impose, the pages they tear out."

This was masterfully written and wholly engaging. The author's acknowledgement of Europe's perceived superiority throughout written accounts (and all of history) was well-placed and vital to this telling. This was my first introduction to David Grann and I'm excited to read his other works.
