Drawing on Admiralty papers, Bligh's logs, letters, diaries and court-martial records, Alexander reconstructs the voyage, the crew's time on Tahiti, the mutiny itself and the trials that followed, showing how two powerful families worked to save one man from the gallows and another from disgrace, shaping the version of events we know today.
