Summary
Captain William Bligh recorded the most famous mutiny in sea history when a group of his men, led by Fletcher Christian, forced him from his ship onto a small launch and cast him adrift into the sea. Was Bligh a harsh sea captain whose vicious cruelty forced his men to mutiny? Or was Fletcher Christian greedy for power and unjustified in taking command? Was Bligh the tyrant of legend? Or was he one of the most lenient commanders of a Pacific exploration ship of that period?

Sail with Captain Bligh on the H.M.S. Bounty, and then follow his incredible quest for survival during his 3,600-mile trip to Timor in an open boat. It's a timeless tale of man's heroic struggle to survive against all odds!

Having listened to many British naval historical novels (and non-fiction accounts), the hardest part about this book was listening to the narrator read it with an AMERICAN accent, rather than a BRITISH one.

This is the story as told by Lt. Bligh himself. It contains a lot of detail about navigation and weather that might make it tedious if you are expecting a novel. I enjoyed it. The prose is crisp. It is a credit to the author. I enjoyed the narrative style. It was about the way I'd expect a sea captain to tell the story.
