The Bounty the true story of the [mutiny on the Bounty]

Just before sunrise on April 28, 1789, in the far reaches of the South Pacific, Master's Mate Fletcher Christian and three other men, armed with cutlasses, bayonets and a musket, apprehended Lieutenant William Bligh and placed him and eighteen officers and crewmen in a small boat. This mutiny on board His Majesty's armed transport Bounty impelled every man on a fateful course-- Bligh and his loyalists on a historic boat voyage, Christian and his followers on their restless exile. Bligh himself returned to Britain as a hero, and ten of the Bounty's crew were eventually captured in Tahiti and brought back to England in irons to face their day in court.

  • "More than two centuries after Fletcher Christian led a mutiny against William Bligh on the transport vessel called Bounty, the true story has become obscured by legend. Author Alexander shatters the centuries-old myths, and shows how, in a desperate attempt to save one man from the gallows and another from ignominy, two powerful families came together to create the version of history we know today."

  • "In giving the Bounty mutiny its historical due, Caroline Alexander has chosen to frame her narrative by focusing on the court-martial of the ten mutineers. This fresh perspective revivifies the entire saga, and the language of the men themselves conjures the events of that morning in 1789, when Christian's breakdown put every man on a fateful course."@en
  • "A new account of the famous mutiny and Fletcher Christian's usurpation of power, of Bligh's epic voyage in an open boat across dangerous seas and of ten obscure men whse trial riveted the attention of the nation."
