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

kitkatkick's review against another edition

Ultimately, it’s hard to rate books about maritime- or really any expeditious- disasters without letting the story of the disaster itself color the decision. The wreck of the HMS Wager brought out some of the worst of humanity. When compared to other events, for example the Shackleton expedition to Antarctica, it seems atrocious, yet the book is easily as good as Alfred Lansing’s “Endurance.”

Explicit descriptions of starvation and fighting over lack of food. Desertion/marooning of many individuals. Explicit description of lashings.kabibblekitsch's review against another edition

Also, this story is just insane? Everything was personally out to get those guys from day zero, and they refused to quit at every turn. Let this be a lesson that it's ok to quit! Lest you become David Cheap.
