The Wager - David Grann - A Short Summary and Review

A short summary of The Wager: The mutiny, murder, and mayhem of the Wager's final voyage. My favorite David Grann quote from the book: "Empires preserve their power with the stories that they tell, but just as critical are the stories they don't - the dark silences they impose, the pages they tear out." Questions to ponder while reading: When do you just quit? Did you know scurvy could do that? My review: Amazing real-life story. I was on the edge of my seat! Fans of The Endurance will love this book. ****** ********************************* a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller living in Salem, Virginia.
