After a long journey around the Cape of Good Hope, Captain William Bligh and his crew emerged into the hot, still air of the South Pacific, and a kind of madness began to take hold. Led by Fletcher Christian, eighteen unhappy sailors set upon Bligh in the night, and at sword-point forced him and his officers into a small rowboat, to try their luck upon the open sea. But why?</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Although it is history&rsquo;s most famous mutiny, the events leading up to Christian&rsquo;s fateful decision are shrouded in mystery. In this thrilling account, master espionage author Brian Freemantle imagines what might have influenced a loyal sailor to turn mutineer.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Brian Freemantle including rare photos from the author&rsquo;s personal collection.</div>
