Batavia's Graveyard, by Mike Dash








This book reveals the events that took place following the shipwreck of a trading ship headed for Java. The ship crashed onto rocks near Australia and then in the months that followed, over a hundred people were murdered as the madness of one man stirred treachery and evil. This is a must read historical work by the author of Tulipomania. Batavia's Graveyard is an excellent read. Mike Dash has done it again, produced a masterpiece of history.
