Reception
editA reviewer of Kirkus Reviews commented "Bascomb... presents the gripping events of June 1905 with sharply focused immediacy and a flair for high drama. The mutiny aboard the Potemkin, which threatened the entire Black Sea Fleet, was eventually suppressed, but it helped sow the seeds of the Russian Revolution. In Bascomb’s capable hands, this powerful morality play vividly reminds us never to underestimate a handful of people willing to die for an idea... History at its best: readable, dramatic and propelled by unforgettable principals."[5]
