Вейджер. Реальная история о кораблекрушении мятеже и убийстве

In 1740, the British ship Wager sets out to chase a Spanish galleon. Two years later, a makeshift boat reaches Brazil with 30 survivors. They have faced scurvy, a wreck, and life on a deserted island. Britain greets them as heroes, and they receive payments.

Four years later, the captain and two aides return too. Their account casts doubt on the first group's story. British officials call a military trial to find the truth. Those found guilty face death.

David Grann's nonfiction book follows this voyage and its aftermath. It is for readers of true stories about survival at sea. It explores how harsh conditions can drive people to betrayal and murder. This edition comes in paperback from Эксмо.
