About This Book

The narrative follows a popular leader who galvanizes an urban revolt against an entrenched autocratic government in a fictional republic. Mass demonstrations, political maneuvering, secret councils, and clashes involving the army and navy drive the action, leading to assaults on Parliament and the palace and the return of naval forces. Public spectacles alternate with private conferences and betrayals as the plot traces shifting loyalties, the dilemmas of constitutional rule versus emergency measures, and the personal costs and unexpected consequences of revolutionary conflict.
