Wager

AI Rating: 1/10 - "The Wager" is a gripping non-fiction account of an 18th-century British shipwreck, mutiny, and court-martial during imperial wars. Grann focuses on historical facts, survival ordeals, class hierarchies among sailors, and clashing narratives in a trial. No progressive messaging, social justice themes, identity politics, or diversity prioritization; it's straightforward storytelling driven by adventure, human frailty, and naval history without modern ideological overlays.
