June Book Club:‘The Wager:A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder’ by David Grann

In 1742, a dilapidated ship set sail on a secret mission with a crew of thirty scrawny men. But fate had other plans, and they find themselves stranded on the coast of Brazil for months, facing the harsh realities of starvation. Despite their dire situation, they were hailed as heroes. But six months later, another run-down ship arrived on the shores of Chile, carrying three castaways who claimed that the thirty men were not heroes but instead mutineers. Now, life and death accusations of treachery and murder hang in the balance as they face a court martial. Who’s telling the truth on this nautical adventure that combines the swashbuckling charm of The Pirates of the Caribbean with the comedic mishaps of Gilligan’s Island?
