A perfect read for naval history buffs. The mutiny on the Somers is not an incident I was familiar with before picking up this book, but it's utterly captivating, and Snow lays out what facts we know and what can be speculated in riveting fashion. Readable, informative, and fascinating.
Moderate: Death
Minor: Violence, Grief, and Alcohol
