Captain Bligh's portable nightmare: from the "Bounty" to safety - 4,162 miles across the Pacific in a rowing boat - London: Fourth Estate, 199 - 224p.

The story of Captain Bligh's remarkable journey to Java. The author tells a "gripping tale of seafaring, exploration and mutiny on the high seas while also dismissing the black legend of the cruel and foul-mouthed Captain Bligh, and reinstating him not just as a man of his times but as a British hero."
