Product Description
Nothing is more terrifying to a seagoing captain than the specter of mutiny, and nothing more riveting than a tale of mutinous deeds. Here Leonard F. Guttridge provides a casebook of mutinies that have occurred over the past two hundred years-from the Magellan expedition to the U.S. aircraft carrier Constellation.
"Mutinies make for excellent reading." (The Daily Telegraph)
"Captivating. Leonard F. Guttridge takes his readers on an eloquent historical tour." (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
"This is a well-balanced, illuminating treatment of a rather murky subject, handled deftly. A valuable addition to any naval library." (Associated Press)
"A fascinating study of law, discipline, and morale. Highly recommended." (Library Journal)
