In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex by Nathaniel Philbrick

5.0

This was an amazing read, thrilling, upsetting and poignant in turn. There are stories he touched on but which are waiting for telling (or not ... Please let me know) ... How hunted animals become more aggressive as they are overhunted and the fact that African Americans suffered so much more at sea.
