A landmark of eyewitness journalism, Ten Days That Shook the World chronicles the dramatic events of the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917, as witnessed firsthand by American journalist John Reed. Reed was present in Petrograd during those tumultuous days and delivers a vivid, ground-level account of the uprising that overthrew the Russian Provisional Government and brought Lenin and the Bolsheviks to power. Written with the urgency and immediacy of a participant rather than a distant observer, the narrative presents packed meeting halls, street fighting, and the seizure of the Winter Palace with cinematic intensity. Praised by Lenin himself and hailed as one of the greatest pieces of reportage ever written, this account remains an indispensable primary source for understanding one of the most consequential political upheavals of the twentieth century.
