Reader recommendation: The Bounty
Loading...
Shifting back and forth between Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall's "Bounty Trilogy" 鈥 yes, that old chestnut! 鈥 and Caroline Alexander's 2003 The Bounty, a reexamination of the mutiny and trials. Together, they give a new appreciation for well-researched historical fiction and they point up how myths and legends blossom from "untruths."
