Its five thousand men, cooped up for the longest at-sea tour of the war, rioted--or, as \u003ci\u003eTroubled Water \u003c\/i\u003esuggests, mutinied. Disturbingly, the lines were drawn racially, black against white. By the time order was restored, careers were in tatters. Although the incident became a turning point for race relations in the Navy, this story remained buried within U.S. Navy archives for decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith action pulled straight from a high-seas thriller, Gregory A. Freeman uses eyewitness accounts and a careful and unprecedented examination of the navy's records to refute the official story of the incident, make a convincing case for the U.S. navy's first mutiny, and shed new light on this seminal event in American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Freeman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0230103391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780230103399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Gregory Freeman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995504673023,"sku":"9780230103399","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6aab0db-25d1-4249-a4b0-85870a8a32a6.jpg?v=1683336195","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/troubled-water-gregory-a-freeman-9780230103399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
