Ten Days That Shook the World V. I. Lenin, John Reed

2020 Reprint of the 1922 Edition.  “An American journalist and revolutionary writer, John Reed became a close friend of Lenin and was an eyewitness to the 1917 revolution in Russia. Ten Days That Shook the World is Reed's extraordinary record of that event. Writing in the first flush of revolutionary enthusiasm, he gives a gripping account of the events in Petrograd in November 1917, when Lenin and the Bolsheviks finally seized power. Containing verbatim reports both of speeches by leaders and of the chance comments of bystanders, and set against an idealized backdrop of soldiers, sailors, peasants, and the proletariat uniting to throw off oppression, Reed's account is the product of passionate involvement and remains an unsurpassed classic of reporting.”Contents:Introduction By Lenin-Preface-Chronology-Notes And Explanations-Background-The Coming Storm-On The Eve-The Fall Of The Provisional Government-Plunging Ahead-The Committee For Salvation-The Revolutionary Front-Counter-Revolution-Victory-Moscow-The Conquest Of Power-The Peasants' Congress-Appendixes.
