A blow-by-blow account of the most infamous mutiny of the eighteenth century.
Perfect for readers of Sam Willis, Brian Lavery and Ian W. Toll, and fans of true-life drama on the high seas.
On 28 April 1789, a group of sailors aboard HMS Bounty seized command of the ship and set her captain and eighteen members of the crew adrift in an open boat, 3,600 miles from the nearest civilised port. It was to become one of the epic scandals in naval history.
Was the mutiny a well-planned coup, an inevitable result of Captain William Bligh’s cruelty? Or was it a haphazard revolt, the rash act of an immature officer?
