The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder
by David Grann
"Red sky at night, sailors' delight. Red sky in the morn, sailors' forlorn" (3/23/2023)
Meticulously researched and expertly described—with illuminating background details. David Grann newest book, The Wager, places the reader into the riggings and high onto the sails in 1740 as the ship sails from Portsmouth and round Cape Horn. The fight for God and Country. Life and liberty. And Honor. Measure their worth, if you dare, as you slog along with the crew for each day's survival. Magnificently resilient and triumphant? Or Survival at all cost. Or—at any cost?
Author David Grann makes You the Judge. Well done!
