The infamous 'Captain Bligh' has been depicted in books and movies as the arrogant sadistic monster who was set adrift from the 'Bounty' by mutineers under the guidance of Fletcher Christian. This books examines the causes behind this celebrated mutiny but also describes the rest of his full and often controversial life - the sea battles, the other mutinies and finally his tenure as Governor of Australia. Minor corrections have been made, extra illustrations added (including some of Bligh's own charts) and appendices provided, including an abridged version of Bligh's log on board the 'Bounty'.
