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

Easy read for people getting into nonfiction. The book starts off pretty slowly as Grann explains the historical context but once the shipwreck happens this book is hard to put down. The story keeps on developing in ways that makes you forget that these events actually happened until it reaches a very lackluster ending. Still is a formidable read.

Très bonne recherche qui applique un cadre théorique interressant au domaine médical et prouve que les sciences sociales ont bien leur place dans l'ensemble des champs de recherche.
