About
In horrifying detail, this book tells the gruesome true story of the shipwreck of the French frigate "Medusa" off the coast of Senegal in 1816. Forced to abandon ship, 150 men and women embarked on an overloaded makeshift raft. After 12 days of riots, mutiny, murder, and cannibalism, only 15 survived. Back in print after 20 years, this book was originally published as "Death Raft".
