Publishers Text

"The True Crime & Punishment" series delves into some of the most daring, bizarre and bloody crimes from early history through to the present day - and their consequences. It covers a broad range of illegal activity, from mutiny to robbery and espionage. It also looks inside some of the world's grimmest and most isolated places of confinement and reveals how the highest walls, the sharpest wires and the most brutal guards could not defeat a determined will to escape. "Mutinies" examines the extreme circumstances that have driven sailors and officers to overthrow authority and commit lethal acts of insubordination. The stories range from mutiny against brutal commanders throughout history to the 'Storozhevoy' mutiny which was the basis for the film "The Hunt for Red October". Desperate times called for desperate measures. "The True Crime & Punishment" series features pacy true crime stories from around the globe and from across the centuries. The stories provide real-life examples of great human courage, drama and adventure. It features eye-catching covers.
