the wager
Not normally one to read (or recommend) a book about an old-timey shipwreck…but this book had me hooked! The author also wrote Killers of the Flower Moon, which I’d also highly recommend.

The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder
Elana Rabin
“A well-written, fun account of a true survival story.”
Thoughts, etc.
“"The only impartial witness was the sun."”
Phoebe Ward
“Grann recounts the story of the HMS Wager's voyage from England to shipwreck off Cape Horn, and their journey home. It's a story of violence and power and survival. Every detail is astounding. I can't believe it's a true story. It's a real-life Animal Farm with mutinies, disease, Colonialism, and people racing the most extreme circumstances imaginable.”
