Wager
When a battered British warship washes ashore with a handful of survivors, their tale of shipwreck and a harrowing sea voyage sounds like a heroic escape. But when another, even more destitute group arrives months later with a drastically different account, a court-martial is convened to untangle a web of mutiny, murder, and conflicting truths. David Grann masterfully reconstructs this dramatic 18th-century maritime disaster, exploring the extremes of human behavior and the very foundations of empire.
