ADMIRAL LORD WEST GCB DSC, Former First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff says:

“The book is a must for anyone interested in gaining a balanced view of the mutiny and its aftermath.

Glynn Christian’s painstaking research into his notorious ancestor has resulted in a fascinating new insight into the mutiny on Her Majesty’s Armed Vessel BOUNTY 28 April 1789, and in particular events thereafter. He describes in a detail that I have never come across before all the characters, which makes the account truly compelling.

But what I found most intriguing was the depth of research into the women who played such a key role in events and particularly the settlement on Pitcairn and its subsequent development. His anthropological research about the Pacific islanders and their lives is riveting and I had not realised how key their traditions and women were to the drama. . .”
