Title: Must Read for Naval Historians
Product review: An in depth recounting of the greatest mutiny in history. The British fleet went on strike with expected results. The time frame is post French Revolution and into the Napoleonic era. Life in the fleet was grim to say the least. Starvation diets, floggings, impressed seamen, constant warfare, men kept aboard ships for years without ever getting ashore, rarely paid. Excellent period piece that ties the mutiny into the larger world scene. I had read various books referencing the Nore Mutiny but had never found what it was all about until this book. It is available used from various sources but somewhat hard to find and is not formatted for Kindle at this point. Well worth whatever price you have to pay for it.
