| | Amazon.ca: The Caine Mutiny: A Novel of World War II: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Set on an obsolete destroyer-minesweeper during World War II, "The Caine Mutiny", seen through the eyes of a young officer, Willie Keith, tells the story of an inadequate captain whose mismanagement leads to his relief from command when a crisis confronts the ship. |
 | | The mutiny, the defense and the acquittal of the Executive Office Mayrk, all revolved around psychological theories of mental illness. |
 | | It is particularly ironic that Keefer, the real instigator of the mutiny, the junior officer who most lack character, fails when he finally becomes captain of the Caine- he buckles under pressure and prematurely abandons ship after it is attacked leaving our hero, Willie Keith, in charge. |
