Wincott - Invergordon Mutineer - 03/02/07 - 11/02/07

Sorry! No picture for this one.

This is an eye-witness account of the Invergordon Mutiny of 1931 where Royal Navy seamen 'mutineed' over new pay conditions. Like any historical account one must bear in mind that the discription of events will inevitably reflect the personal interests of the author. Nevertheless this book provides a really interesting account of Len Wincott's training and life in the Navy pre-mutiny and a fascinating account of the mutiny itself. In particular, Wincott explains the unique nature of this 'strike'. The last few chapters which deal with Wincott's life after the strike are sketchy and of little interest, I would have liked to see greater detail.
