Description

From the back cover: A highly acclaimed chronicle of riveting nonfiction. *NewYork Times* best-selling author Neal Bascomb has scored hits with *Higher* and *The Perfect Mile*. In *Red Mutiny* he reconstructs the legendary uprising aboard the Russian Battleship *Potemkin*. In 1905, the *Potemkin* is the most powerful battleship in the world, the pride of the Russian fleet. But on board, the brutality of the officers and degradation of the conditions is driving the men toward mutiny. One day, after they are served rancid meat crawling with maggots, 600 sailors rebel. Their violent struggle against oppression and hoplessness leads to one of the most captivating high-seas pursuits of all time and comes to symbolize the core ideals of the Russian Revolution.
