This volume brings together a set of scholarly, readable and
up-to-date essays covering the most significant naval mutinies of
the 20th century, including Russia (1905), Brazil (1910), Austria
(1918), Germany (1918), France (1918-19), Great Britain (1931),
Chile (1931), the United States (1944), India (1946), China (1949),
Australia, and Canada (1949).
Each chapter addresses the causes of the mutiny in question, its
long- and short-term repercussions, and the course of the mutiny
itself. More generally, authors consider the state of the
literature on their mutiny and examine significant
historiographical issues connected with it, taking advantage of new
research and new methodologies to provide something of value to
both the specialist and non-specialist reader. The book provides
fresh insights into issues such as what a mutiny is, what factors
cause them, what navies are most susceptible to them, what
responses lead to satisfactory or unsatisfactory conclusions, and
how far-reaching their consequences tend to be.
