Description
John Reed's Ten Days That Shook the World is a first-hand account of the Russian Revolution, written by an American journalist who was reporting for a socialist magazine. In 1919, Reed published this book, which has received a range of critical responses over the years. The book contains historical photographs from the time period and provides a detailed record of events. While some critics have disagreed with Reed's perspective on the revolution, others have praised its literary power and penetration. A notable example is George F. Kennan, who described the book as "a reflection of blazing honesty and a purity of idealism" that did credit to American society. Published in 1919, Ten Days That Shook the World remains an important historical record of one of the most significant events of the 20th century.
