In October 1917, the world changed forever — and American journalist John Reed was there to witness every electrifying moment. Ten Days That Shook the World is a breathtaking firsthand chronicle of the Bolshevik Revolution, capturing the chaos, passion, and ideological fury that swept through Petrograd as Lenin and the Bolsheviks seized power from the Provisional Government. Reed immerses the reader in the thunderous oratory of Smolny, the desperate barricades of the streets, and the raw, trembling energy of a society tearing itself apart and rebuilding from the ground up. Widely regarded as one of the most important works of eyewitness journalism ever written, Reed's account stands as a singular document of radical history — urgent, partisan, and utterly alive. His prose crackles with the conviction of a true believer, blurring the line between reportage and revolutionary manifesto in ways that continue to provoke and fascinate scholars and general readers alike. This Mentor Books edition, tied to the acclaimed motion picture Reds, reintroduces Reed's masterwork to a new generation — leaving one to wonder: what does it mean to bear witness to history, and does the witness ever truly remain neutral?
