Mutiny - Softcover

Mutiny - Softcover       Synopsis:   From the early days of fighting sail to the modern steel machines of the worldýs navies, sailors have always endured many hardships. Isolation, claustrophobic living conditions, seemingly endless voyages, monotonous routines, and lack of communication beyond the sea vessel are reason enough to inspire dissatisfaction in a single member of a crew. For dissatisfaction to swell into open rebellion and mutiny is a ship captainýs worst fear. In MUTINY: A HISTORY OF NAVAL INSURRECTION, author Leonard F. Guttridge provides a fascinating account of the history behind the most dreaded of military terms. From Magellanýs expedition to circumnavigate the globe and the infamous HMS and Battleship Potemkin insurrections to the demonstrations aboard the United States aircraft carriers Kitty Hawk and Constellation, this gripping narrative delivers voyage after voyage of life and death situations where men dared to defy military authority. Photographs and illustrations included.     Please Note: These are closeout books.  They might have scuffs and scratches but lets get realistic they are meant to be read!
