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

Ready for an extreme version of "he said" "HE said"! The British ship Wager left England in 1740 on a secret mission but did not accomplish its goal. Instead multiple groups of shipwreck survivors turn up in 1742 with differing stories of their experiences, leading to accusations of treachery and murder.

You want to know more don't you? Grab your copy of this book now (it is quite popular) and join us. In addition to being a good subject, the writing makes it even better (so say the reviews). This is one court martial that you will want to check out.

We are reading the entire book for the April meeting.
