Just finished The Indifferent Stars Above and previously enjoyed Endurance. I thought the pace and level of detail for both were a good balance between informative and approachable. Any recommendations for other similar historical disasters?
The last good historical disaster I read was Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson. One of the best I've read was Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. And it was a historical disaster for the Polynesians, a really great audiobook narrated by the author Sarah Vowell: Unfamiliar Fishes
