The Bounty: The True Story of the Mutiny on the Bounty
|
|
 |
Title Description A riveting and intelligent chronicler of some of the great adventures in human history, Caroline Alexander offers a completely fresh and startling account of the world's most famous mutiny. Using as her frame the landmark court-martial of ten captured mutineers, Alexander investigates the mutiny's causes, aftermath, and continued resonances two centuries later. It is the story of Fletcher Christian's extraordinary usurpation of power, of Bligh's epic voyage in an open boat across dangerous seas, and of ten obscure men whose trial riveted the attention of a nation. Rhodes Scholar and author of THE ENDURANCE, the gripping and personal story of Ernest Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition, Alexander pens a sweeping narrative of duty, honor, pride, and ambition at the dawn of the Romantic Era.
