Description
John Reed's eyewitness account of the 1917 Russian Revolution is a gripping and passionate record of the events that shook the world.
Written in the aftermath of the revolution, this book provides a unique insight into the events of November 1917, when Lenin and the Bolsheviks seized power in Petrograd. Reed's account is based on verbatim reports of speeches and chance comments, set against a backdrop of soldiers, sailors, peasants, and workers uniting to overthrow oppression.
First published by Penguin Classics, this edition has been revised and remains a powerful and enduring account of one of the most significant events of the 20th century.
