Book excerpt: More than two centuries after Master’s Mate Fletcher Christian led a mutiny against Lieutenant William Bligh on a small, armed transport vessel called Bounty, the true story of this enthralling adventure has become obscured by the legend. Combining vivid characterization and deft storytelling, Caroline Alexander shatters the centuries-old myths surrounding this story. She brilliantly shows how, in a desperate attempt to save one man from the gallows and another from ignominy, two powerful families came together and began to create the version of history we know today. The true story of the mutiny on the Bounty is an epic of duty and heroism, pride and power, and the assassination of a brave man’s honor at the dawn of the Romantic age.

Book excerpt: A trip across the Pacific turns into a life or death scenario when the crew of the HMS Bounty stages a revolt against their commander. The Bounty Mutiny tells the controversial story of the mutineers and the acting lieutenant who sparked a movement. Commanding Lieutenant William Bligh was instructed to use the HMS Bounty to transport breadfruit plants to the West Indies. He worked alongside skilled colleague Fletcher Christian, who was selected to be acting lieutenant. During their time at sea, the crew experienced many challenges with complaints of abuse and tyranny at the hands of Bligh. This eventually leads to a mutiny, in which Christian and the crew take control of the vessel. This harrowing tale is one of the most adapted events of all-time. Over the past century, it has been interpretated across multiple mediums including five feature films starring George Cross, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable, Marlon Brando and Anthony Hopkins. It’s an enduring story that continues to fascinate and provoke the masses. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Bounty Mutiny is both modern and readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Narrative of the Mutiny, on Board His Majesty's Ship Bounty; and the Subsequent Voyage of Part of the Crew, in the Ship's Boat, from Tofoa, One of the Friendly Islands, to Timor, a Dutch Settlement in the East Indies. Illustrated with Charts. First Published in 1790, by William Bligh. Bounty's crew, led by Fletcher Christian, mutinied and set Bligh and eighteen loyal crewmen adrift in a 23-foot launch shortly after the ship had left Tahiti in April 1789. In their small boat Bligh and his companions made a remarkable journey of more than three and a half thousand miles from Tofoa to Timor in six weeks over largely uncharted waters. The following Narrative is only a part of a voyage undertaken for the purpose of conveying the Bread-fruit Tree from the South Sea Islands to the West Indies. The manner in which this expedition miscarried, with the subsequent transactions and events, are here related.

This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Bligh, the captain aboard HMS Bounty, tells of the chaos that led to he and eighteen loyalists being cast off in a small boat by mutineers, and the desperation he and his crew faced in getting to safety. One of the most shocking and infamous episodes in naval history, the mutiny on the Bounty is recounted in Bligh's memoir, which is adapted from his own logbook notes and records. Even in his own words, Bligh is a man who believes in firm discipline; as the Bounty falls behind schedule in its mission to transport breadfruit for cultivation in the West Indies, his measures grow more stringent and severe. Although Bligh's account notes the increasingly severe rationing that took place aboard ship, he is preoccupied with navigational progress and completing his duties in a timely manner. His descriptions are detailed and matter-of-fact, and his regime of overbearing discipline is not held to be immoral or in any way a mark of poor leadership. Indeed, this book is more concerned in depicting the astonishing and speedy progress the loyalists made to reach safety at a Dutch port. The mutineers, whose part in this book ceases with Bligh's eviction, would resettle on Tahiti and Pitcairn Islands, having previously enjoyed respite there. Led by Fletcher Christian, several eventually married local women and raised families, and their descendants have been traced to the modern day. William Bligh was acquitted of wrongdoing and rose from the rank of Lieutenant to become a Vice-Admiral in the Royal Navy. The incident returned to the public's attention in the 1960s, when a popular Hollywood film retold the story. Marlon Brando famously played the role of the discontented but charismatic Fletcher Christian, while Trevor Howard took up the role of a disciplinarian and obstinate Bligh. Attitudes to Bligh as the villain of the Bounty's story have softened in recent years, with scholars noting that he possessed a great degree of naval competence.
