Ten Days that Shook the World
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
"Brilliant and entertaining."—The New York Times Book Review
This first-person chronicle by John Reed, a legendary journalist who was present at the flash point of the Russian Revolution in 1917, provides an intense and informative eyewitness account of one of the greatest events of the twentieth century.
Capturing the spirit of those heady days of excitement and idealism, Reed's true-to-life account follows many of the prominent Bolshevik leaders, as well as vividly capturing the mood of the masses. Verbatim reports of speeches by leaders, and comments of bystanders—set against an idealized backdrop of the proletariat united with soldiers, sailors, and peasants—are balanced by passionate narratives describing the fall of the provisional government, the assault on the Winter Palace, and Lenin's seizure of power.
Accompanied by contemporaneous photographs, this gripping record by a western journalist has been acclaimed worldwide since its first publication in 1919. Endorsed by Lenin as a "truthful and most vivid exposition," the work was the basis for the Academy Award-winning 1981 film Reds.

Originally publishing this work in 1919, journalist Reed traveled to Russia and experienced the October Revolution firsthand. A friend of Lenin's, Reed was hardly a nonpartisan observer, but this book is considered a classic. Warren Beatty's movie Reds (1981) depicts Reed's life.
