The dramatic story of a 1970 mutiny on an American tramp steamer transporting napalm to the Vietnam War.
"The Eagle Mutiny falls squarely into that rare category of important historical nonfiction that, through sheer talent of writing and arduous but irreplaceable firsthand research, is elevated to a gripping story that reads like a great novel. Its skillfully developed characters, its remarkable grasp of Cambodia during the 1970s, and its intimate understanding of the mindset of disillusionment by many of the warriors of the conflict in Indochina allow this important piece of history to be told with dignity, accuracy, and drama. The authors have succeeded brilliantly where many of us who write in this genre fail: They have made what could have been dense, obscure history highly readable. One need not have an interest in military or Cambodian history or politics to find The Eagle Mutiny a great read." Nate Thayer, journalist and author of Sympathy for the Devil
"A tale worthy of Conrad that reads like a Hollywood classic. The Eagle Mutiny resolves a historic mystery while mapping the mysteries of good and evil that fill ordinary men's souls." T. D. Allman, author of Unmanifest Destiny "The Eagle Mutiny is a true story that reads like a thriller : a gripping narrative about two young merchant seamen on a vessel carrying napalm to Vietnam during the war. In a moment of truth, they found themselves drawn inextricably into the war in all its ugliest permutations and were forced to make a radical decision that would forever change their lives. A compassionate, vibrant account that looks deeply into the hearts of men in their darkest and most glorious hour." Kaylie Jones, author of A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries "A gripping, interwoven tale. A surreal story of protest and piracy that climaxes in the never-to-grow-up country of dreams and nightmares . . . the big C -- Cambodia." Tim Page, combat photographer and author of Derailed in Uncle Ho's Victory Garden |
