Ten Days That Shook the World
Book • 1919
This book is an impassioned and detailed eyewitness account of the Russian Revolution.
Written in the immediate aftermath of the events, it captures the spirit of the revolution through verbatim reports of speeches by leaders and comments from bystanders.
Reed's account follows the fall of the provisional government, the assault on the Winter Palace, and Lenin's seizure of power, set against an idealized backdrop of soldiers, sailors, peasants, and the proletariat uniting to overthrow oppression.
