The book delves into a complex uprising, examining its root causes such as heightened taxation, soaring food prices, the imposition of a new metric system, military draft fears, and the imprisonment of influential bishops in Brazil, referred to as the Religious Question. Through this analysis, it sheds light on the socio-political tensions that fueled the revolt.
