“One of the strangest and most horrifying stories ever told.”—John Fowles, author of The French Lieutenant''s Woman
“First rate.”—Newsweek
In July, 1816, a French frigate ran aground on a sandbar forty miles off the coast of Africa. Forced to abandon ship, 150 men and women embarked on an overloaded makeshift raft. After twelve days of riots, mutiny, murder, and, ultimately, cannibalism, only fifteen were alive.
