It provides a detailed narrative of the political and military conflicts that ensued, including insights into the motivations and actions of key historical figures.

Stevenson highlights her role as an eyewitness, emphasizing the complexity of the characters involved, including the motivations of political leaders, soldiers, and the affected populace.
