Summary
A Brief History of Mutiny: Uprisings on the High Seas
The infamous uprising on the Bounty is iconic, but Richard Woodman calls it a ‘pup’ among mutinies. Captain Bligh was no tyrant, unlike Pigot of the Hermione. Woodman brings a seaman’s perspective to this compelling history, from Magellan’s 1519 voyage to the ‘sordid crimes’ of later mutinies.
