I would recommend it for 1.) its expository value (he explains in detail a very interesting take on history motivated by his metaphysical beliefs adopted from various mystical and "mythological" traditions) and 2.) its diagnosis of the spiritual causes underpinning the self-evident crisis of the modern world. As for political revolt, he never urges one on. As I understand him, the revolt he advocates for is inward and deeply spiritual. At the end, he seems to suggest that there is no hope for the modern world and that we must ride it out or even accelerate its destructive forces.
