Finished "The Bounty" last month. New, non-fiction book on the "Mutiny on the Bounty" saga. Very interesting book. Author (can't recall her name right now) must have spent a bunch of time doing beaucoup research. . . fills in the personalities and social/political/military climate of the people and times. . .interesting, some things don't change---it's who you know, how well you're liked, (and being the UK in the 1790's--who you're family is . or was. . .) how good one's PR machine, and oh yeah---the power and seduction of warm beautiful women and the equally warm and beautiful islands of the South Pacific. . .those sailors forgot who and what they were. . . . tragic, yet understandable. . .
recommended. . .
