1.In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship EssexIn the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $6.52

Customer Review:
I came to this book as a fan of Melville's 'Moby Dick', having recently re-read it and wanting more. That the climax of Moby Dick is taken from an actual incident, and further, that Melville's Ahab might in fact be loosely based on an actual person (the Essex's first mate Chase) is fascinating to... more info

3.The Invisible Hook: The Hidden Economics of PiratesThe Invisible Hook: The Hidden Economics of Pirates
from Princeton University Press
Price: $15.59

Customer Review:
This book produces what it promised ... an analysis of pirate behaviours and practices from a fairly pure economic perspective. Leeson writes in a fluent and accessible style and injects about the right amount of historical data. Too little would have made me feel like I ought to have read up on the... more info

6.The Bounty : The True Story of the Mutiny on the Bounty The "Bounty": The True Story of the Mutiny on the "Bounty"
from HarperPerennial
Price: $24.75

Customer Review:
Like many today, the only knowledge I had of the mutiny on the Bounty had come in bits and pieces from popular culture. I was well aware of the portrait of Bligh as a tyrannical madman forcing his subordinates to his will. However, is that characterization correct? If not, then why would his men... more info

9.The Slave Ship: A Human HistoryThe Slave Ship: A Human History
from Viking Adult
Price: $9.19

Customer Review:
This book reminded me of Moby Dick. Both books deal with sailors, valuable "commodities", and ships with maniacal captains. Moby Dick is basically a treatise on whaling with a dark story buried within. The Slave Ship is essentially a treatise on the Middle Passage with tragic historical narratives... more info

from HarperPerennial

Customer Review:
I caught the movie on the Weather Channel of all places - imagine that! I wasn't interested in it when it came to theaters - I am not a big fan of George Clooney. I didn't appreciate his acting on ER many years ago.
A friend told me the movie was based on a true story which piqued my interest.... more info
