To redress the lack of scholarly attention paid to mutinies, Bell (history, Dalhousie U., Halifax) and Elleman (US Naval War College, Newport, RI) collect 13 essays analyzing revolts in navies from the US, Russia, and other countries from 1905-1949. The editors distinguish between mutinies under democratic and authoritarian regimes. Includes photos. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
