This is a new version of the whole story of the Bounty, it covers
everything, from its disastrous crew selection, the Mutiny,
incitement of Polynesian wars, trials, executions, pardons,
kidnaps, rapes, enslavement to the brutal island murders. Make no
mistake; it may have been the beginning of the Romantic Age but
there was nothing romantic about the mutiny on the Bounty, why did
Fletcher Christian choose oblivion over common sense on that hot
sunny morning so long ago? Was it because far from freeing the crew
from oppression he was actually mentally unstable? Where exactly
was Peter Heywood and why did half the crew choose certain death in
an open boat rather than sail away with the mutineers? Just some of
the questions answered in this book, for the first time the whole
story, the complete story, including the Pandora's hunt for the
mutineers and the Admiralty's revenge, and the true price of Peter
Heywood's freedom.
