Representaion As Books The Mutiny on the Bounty Trilogy
The story of the Bounty will be told as long as men sail the sea. The storytelling genius of the authors finds here a canvas filled with color, action and adventure. Readers will realize, as did the authors, that so large a drama could not be confined to the compass of an ordinary book. Nordoff and Hall chose to tell the story of the Bounty in three acts:
Mutiny on the Bounty
Men Against the Sea
Pitcairn's Island
In The Mutiny on the Bounty Trilogy these three books have been united in a single volume to form the complete work that the authors had in mind.

Accounts of each of the phases of the historic mutiny on the British ship Bounty in 1787. The first part of the trilogy is an account of the actual circumstances of the mutiny against Cap't William Bligh led by Fletcher Christian. The authors set the scene carefully. The second account, Men Against the Sea relates the journey of the 19 men set off the Bounty in the small boat. Bligh led them with an iron hand and skillfully navigated more than 3600 miles across the south sea in an open boat to
I love sea stories and this one is one of the best.I first read Mutiny on the Bounty when I was in the Navy. The Captain of the destroyer I was stationed on saw me walking around with the book and told me that in naval history circles, the Bounty mutiny was much researched and discussed because it was an anomaly in that Captain Bligh was much less ruthless than most Captains of the Line at that time. Naval historians are still trying to figure out why Bligh and the Bounty and not other ships of
Makes a big book, but great to have the whole story in one cover, based on historical facts, but written in a readable novel form.
One of the great seafaring stories! The legendary story of Captain Bligh vs. Mr. Christian -- what happened, why it happened, and the ensuing consequences. Enjoyable reading.
