 " /></p>\n<p><strong>#1&nbsp\;NEW YORK TIMES&nbsp\;BESTSELLER &bull\; From
  the author of&nbsp\;<em>Killers of the Flower Moon</em>\, a page-turning 
 story of shipwreck\, survival\, and savagery\, culminating in a court mart
 ial that reveals a shocking truth. The powerful narrative reveals the deep
 er meaning of the events on&nbsp\;The Wager\, showing that it was not only
  the captain and crew who ended up on trial\, but the very idea of empire.

 y 28\, 1742\, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washe
 d up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men\, barely ali
 ve\, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of Hi
 s Majesty&rsquo\;s Ship the Wager\, a British vessel that had left England
  in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. The men\, 
 after being marooned for months and facing starvation\, built the flimsy c
 raft and sailed for more than a hundred days\, traversing nearly 3\,000 mi
 les of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes.</p>\n<p>But then .
 .. six months later\, another\, even more decrepit craft landed on the coa
 st of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways\, and they told a ve
 ry different story. As accusations of treachery and murder flew\, the Admi
 ralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The
  stakes were life-and-death&mdash\;for whomever the court found guilty cou
 ld hang.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>How it Works?</strong></p>\n<p>Literary B
