This is an informative and interesting presentation of Bligh's mission on the Bounty and the events which followed. The book lends particular focus on how the Haywood and Christian families "spun" the tale after the fact to make the mutineers seem more "noble" and Bligh more "evil". As far as I can tell, it's a straight-up, honest and well-researched account of what really happened.However, it does seem to me that the book spends proportionally too much time on the court martial and Peter Haywood's family and life, and not enough on the events onboard ship or on Pitcairn Island; I suppose this reflects the amount of material available on each. Further, the author assumes an understanding of geography and nautical terms that could be explicated by a glossary and more (and better placed) maps. And the narrative is quite jumpy, at least at first, going back and forth in time, when a straightforward approach would probably serve the reader better.
