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.
