Anthills of the Savannah

I was wondering if anyone could give me a brief summary of what happens in the novel. I just started reading it but it's terribly boring and if anyone could tell me that it gets better as it progresses, it will be appreciated :)

'but it's terribly boring' to be fair you deserve to die. if you find this book boring clearly you have the brain the size of a pea. its incredible, if you actually understand it, which clearly you do not seeing as your head is so small,
