	Mutiny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mutiny is the crime of conspiring to disobey an order that a group of similarly-situated individuals (typically members of the military; or the crew of any ship, even if they are civilians) is legally obliged to obey.
		While many mutinies were carried out in response to backpay and/or poor conditions within the military unit or on the ship, some, such as the Connaught Rangers mutiny and the Wilhelmshaven mutiny, were part of larger movements or revolutions.
		The Mutiny Act legislated for offences in respect of which death or penal servitude could be awarded, and the Articles of War, while repeating those provisions of the act, constituted the direct authority for dealing with offences for which imprisoument was the maximum punishment as well as with many matters relating to trial and procedure.

		Although sometimes erroneously referred to as a 'Mutiny', the Curragh Incident does remain one of the very few occasions in modern times when the army asserted itself in face of the civil power in peacetime.
		Two previous books in particular have investigated the Curragh Incident, which has also been discussed in the context of Irish Home Rule and of the leading participants, but none of these accounts has benefited from all surviving primary sources - this is the first time access has been granted to certain key archives.
		This book, meticulously annotated, with a detailed bibliography and biographical notes, fills a huge gap in the history of the insurrection which the British know as the Indian Mutiny, and is a major contribution both to the history of the British and Indian Armies and to the history of the Raj.
