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

Narrated by David Grann and Dion Graham8 hr 28 min

David Grann's The Wager takes a single 18th-century shipwreck and turns it into a study of how survival corrodes order and how empires manufacture their own truth. It braids a sea voyage, an island ordeal, and a court martial into one argument about whose version of events gets to become history.

On audio, David Grann and Dion Graham narrate all 8 hr 28 min of The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder — an easy way to get through your TBR pile on the go.
