Has history been wrong for 200 years? Learn the startling truth about the mutiny on the Bounty, its characters, causes, and aftermath. Television rights are now in development with Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions.

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.

Reader was very good. Story was well written but occasionally, probably unavoidably, dry.

My overall takeaway from this is that the entire reasoning behind the mutiny are, from a modern perspective, not fully understandable. The extreme class system and almost self indulgent sense of moral purity of the upper class is well exposed in this book. Honestly, can one blame a common seaman wanting to stay in Tahiti, considering their quality of life and prospects in Britain?

Good Story

I was actually surprised and delighted to hear this rendition of The Bounty. It is a good example of how a story can be so twisted as to have so few facts to the original. Wonderful story and well presented.

The real story

A very balanced and detailed narrative of the voyage, the mutiny, and its aftermath. Bligh bore some fault, but he was made into a caricature by some very effective propaganda coming from two well connected families.

Outstanding from start to finish
