Mutiny!: Naval Insurrections in Australia and New Zealand
Author(s): Tom Frame and Kevin Baker
Since 1916 there have been more mutinies in the Royal Australian Navy than in any other maintained by an English-speaking nation. New Zealand has suffered only one - the largest in recent history. Drawing on correspondence, reports and interviews, this text examines why such outbreaks occur.
