@TitaniumButterfly The two posts I'm thinking of were this one and this one. They're capsule summaries rather than full reviews but it was enough to pull me in. A similar thing happened with a random Reddit comment about The Wager, another naval history book, which is not my usual style at all. That one is about a sailing ship getting wrecked on Cape Horn and conflicting accounts of the ensuing mutinies. Worth a read, and only a standard ~350 pages.
