Title

  • 2023 National Book Festival: Shipwreck, Mutiny & Murder with David Grann

Summary

  • In January 1742, the H.M.S. Wager washed up on the coast of Brazil with 29 emaciated men. Via suspenseful storytelling, David Grann recreates in "The Wager" the ship's rough voyage and its gruesome aftermath. The lessons here aren't just about the vicious sea; they're also about imperialism and what happens when people are pushed to the brink. Moderated by David M. Rubenstein.
