Author Neal Bascomb's detailed research and John McDonough's skillful narration create a vivid picture of the lives of the Russian sailors aboard the Battleship Potemkin. McDonough is a familiar name to aficionados of audiobooks, and he rises mightily to the occasion of relating the stories of the individuals behind the legendary mutiny. The gravitas of McDonough's voice is appropriate to both the majesty of the Russian Imperial Family and the desperation of the sailors' conditions that led to mutiny. McDonough's narration incorporates his trademark robust voice with expert pronunciation of Russian names and places. Bascomb's history of this significant event is enlivened by McDonough's equally rich reading. Fans of history will welcome this recording, and even the casual listener will be caught up in the story of the sailors and the ship. R.F. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
Red Mutiny
In 1905 more than seven hundred Russian sailors mutinied against their officers aboard the battleship Potemkin, one of the most powerful battleships in the world. Led by the charismatic firebrand Matyushenko, they risked their lives to take control of their ship and fly the red flag of revolution. What followed was a violent port-to-port chase that spanned eleven harrowing days and came to symbolize the Russian Revolution itself. This pulse-pounding story alternates between the opulent court of Nicholas II and the drama on the high seas. Neal Bascomb combines extensive research and fresh information from Soviet archives to tell the true story of the deadliest naval mutiny in history. Red Mutiny is a terrific adventure filled with epic naval battles, heroic sacrifices, treachery, bloodlust, and the rallying cries of freedom.
