In September 1931 the Royal Navy experienced its biggest modern mutiny. The largest warships in the Atlantic Fleet were gathering in Cromarty Firth, for their autumn exercises. Meanwhile Ramsay MacDonald’s newly formed national Government announced its emergency budget, introducing means tests, cutting umeployment benefit and reducing public sector pay. On arrival at Invergordon the sailors discovered the scale of the cuts they were supposed to bear. Their resulting strike, co-ordinated from ship to ship, swiftly achieved its objective. The Navy was badly shaked by the extraordinary efficiency of the action, and Britiains’ financial credit was so seriously damaged that within a few days the country was forced off the Gold Standard. Until this book was published little of the story was known; officially dexcribed as a case of ‘unrest’ it was hushed up and no Courts-Martial or Commission of Inquiry followed. This is the first detailed account of the Invergordon mutiny based on the personal testimony of those involved on the lower deck. Particular attention is given to the way the affair was organized, both centrally and in individual ships, to the structure of command and to the flash points when the use of force was considered and attempted. The dramatic story is hereput into its historical context: the background to the budget crisis of 1931, the implications of the cuts imposed, the conditions of the Fleet at the time: themes which remain as pertinent today as they were in 1931.

"The Invergordon Mutiny was a product of its time. Born out of economic hardships, sailors reacted to government directed pay cuts the same way the civilian world did, by downing tools and striking. However, a mutiny by any other name is a mutiny. The unrest of the Atlantic Fleet of the Royal Navy in 1931 may have been non-violent but over twelve thousand sailors refused to set sail to exercise. Underlying causes of the strike were a lack of a reliable grievance system and understanding between the Government and lower deck. Naval leadership did not stand up for the sailor and allowed civilian leaders to cut pay that would put sailors into ruin. History has shown in the US military system, military leaders have taken a backseat to civilian leadership and not taken care of the troops. However, that is changing for the better. The sailors of the Royal Navy found a way to be heard without being charged under the laws of mutiny. Leaders today also face unrest; however, military airmen have developed socially acceptable ways to "munity" through administrative channels and not openly protest."--Abstract.
