Synopsis

JOHN REED, an American bom in 1887, was perhaps the greatest revolutionary journalist ever. His Ten Days that Shook the World’s one of the best accounts of the Russian Revolution. This new volume of his writings demonstrates the breadth of his work: from mass strikes in the American coalfields to revolution in the haciendas of Mexico, from the horrors of the First World War to the storming of the Winter Palace, John Reed was there to tell the stories of those fighting back.

'Nothing could be more appropriate than the publication today of this collection of John Reed's work. The carefully chosen extracts here reflect both sides of Reed's journalism—his jubilation in victory and his defiance in defeat. No socialist bookshelf is complete without it.'
Paul Foot
