520    "In Bligh, the story of the most notorious of all Pacific 
       explorers is told through a new lens as a key episode in 
       the history of the world, rather than simply of the West. 
       Award-winning anthropologist Anne Salmond recounts with a 
       fresh perspective the triumphs and disasters of William 
       Bligh's life in a riveting narrative that for the first 
       time portrays the Pacific islanders as players. Beginning 
       in 1777, when Bligh, at twenty-two, first arrived in 
       Tahiti with Captain Cook, Salmond charts Bligh's three 
       Pacific voyages--and tells how they transformed lives on 
       the islands as well as on board the ships and back in 
       Europe. She sheds new insight into the mutiny aboard the 
       Bounty--and on Bligh's remarkable 3,000-mile journey 
       across the Pacific in a small boa--through revelations 
       from the raw, unguarded letters between him and his wife 
       Betsy. This beautifully told story reveals Bligh for the 
       first time, as an important ethnographer adding to the 
       paradoxical legacy of this famed seaman, and it captures 
       more definitively than ever the excitement, drama, and 
       terror of these events." --Publisher's website.
