Description : The Mutiny on Board H.M.S. Bounty from the author, Captain William Bligh, is the story of a small and unremarkable merchant vessel the H.M.S. Bounty which became one of the most famous ships in maritime history. Commanded by an inexperienced commander, William Bligh, who lacked the respect of the crew, attracted to the promise of an easy life in a Tahitian paradise. Fletcher Christian led half the crew in mutiny against Bligh and after overpowering all resistance they cast their deposed captain adrift, along with those still loyal to him. Luckily they managed to sail the 23ft boat 3,618 nautical miles to Timor in the Dutch East Indies with no chart or compass. On returning to England, The Captain reported what had happened, and the Royal Navy hunted down and captured most of the mutineers. This volume narrates the detailed version of the mutiny, allowing Bligh's account to sit alongside those of his detractors. The discrepancies mentioned are fascinating, and allow the readers to make up their own minds about this infamous mutiny. A great book on the infamous mutiny!
