I had high hopes for this, given its historical importance. But very little happens in the first 90% of the book. You're better off skipping to the last 10%, where you get a little taste of mutiny and revolution - although the author doesn't seem to have a decent grasp of the dynamics, and isn't especially sympathetic to it (he is a reluctant participant). But even that last tenth is frustrating, as it ends very abruptly, just as the revolution is kicking off in a big way.
