The Bounty Trilogy: Comprising the Three Volumes, Mutiny on the Bounty, Men against the Sea and Pitcairn's Island
For a related chronology (starting with the christening of William Bligh on September 9, 1754, in Plymouth, England, and extending to the 1841 death of Fletcher Christian's wife Mauatua), see here.
UPDATE: A reader left a recommendation for the following book in the comments section.
The Bounty: The True Story of the Mutiny on the Bounty

Just FYI, Caroline Alexander wrote a great book a couple of years ago called The Bounty : The True Story of the Mutiny on the Bounty. Her book makes it pretty clear that Christian Fletcher was a slug and that Captain Bligh was a rather unusually good naval officer, who was the victim of one of the first concerted smear campaigns in history.
Thanks for the tip!
