| Entry Text: | FRAME, Tom & BAKER, Kevin. Mutiny! Naval Insurrections in Australia and New Zealand. xi, 283p., bibliog., illus., index. Sydney: Allen & Unwin, 2000. ISBN: 1865083518.
Since 1916 there have been more mutinies in the Royal Australian Navy than in any other navy maintained by an English speaking nation. New Zealand's navy, by contrast, has suffered only one mutiny, although it was one of the largest to occur in recent naval history. This is the first comprehensive study of naval insurrections in these two countries. Drawing on original records, private correspondence, newspaper reports and interviews with men accused of mutiny, it examines when and why such outbreaks occur. |
