What happened on the Bounty By Bengt Danielsson (1963) (Rare)

Bengt Danielsson's 1963 book What Happened on the Bounty offers a meticulously researched and balanced account of the infamous 1789 mutiny aboard HMS Bounty. Drawing from historical documents and firsthand accounts, Danielsson reconstructs the voyage, the mutiny led by Fletcher Christian, Captain William Bligh's remarkable navigation to Timor, and the subsequent lives of both the mutineers and loyalists. The book provides a nuanced perspective, challenging the traditional vilification of Bligh and suggesting that the mutiny may have stemmed from deeper social tensions among the crew. Danielsson's expertise in Pacific cultures enriches the narrative, making it a definitive study of this historical event.
