Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. A dramatic true account of one of naval historyâs most famous uprisings, The Mutiny of H.M.S. Bounty follows the growing tensions between Captain Bligh and his crew during their voyage to Tahiti. What begins as a routine mission unravels into rebellion as resentment, harsh discipline, and the lure of island life push the sailors toward a fateful breaking point. The narrative traces both the mutineersâ desperate flight across the Pacific and Blighâs astonishing open-boat journey for survival. This Folio Society edition presents the tale with scholarly context and elegant craftsmanship, housed in a refined slipcase that underscores its enduring fascination.

1p., 4to. He is honoured to be asked to talk to the Napier Society (a military history society at Sandhurst), but is 'right in the middle of the Cambridge term', as a Fellow of Churchill College, and so must 'propose a subject which I have already talked about.' He suggests two topics: 'Trade Defence in World War II' and 'Some Reasons for Official History', in the last of which he tries 'to answer criticisms of that form of history and describe the sources I had used and the way I had worked when writing The War at Sea 1939-45'. He ends by warning Brett-James that his deafness makes him 'pretty hopeless in discussion unless I can have somebody to repeat questions to me. With most of my audiences this has worked satisfactorily, so I hope you can make arrangements to overcome my disabilitiy.' Brett-James's official title was 'Head of Department, War Studies & International Affairs, Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst'.
