Experience a thrilling, comprehensive account of the Bolshevik seizure of power during the Russian Revolution - an event which ended czarist rule, led to the rise of Communism, and changed the shape of the 20th Century. Reed, a journalist who witnessed the Bolshevik takeover during ten precarious days in 1917, provides thorough background information and firsthand reporting. The immediacy of Reed's reporting makes Ten Days that Shook the World an essential historical document, one that brings us as close as possible to the tumultuous events of 1917.©1982 John Reed (P)1982 Recorded Books, Inc.

Very informative perspective on the Russian Revolution from someone who was there at the time.

A brilliant eyewitness account

John Reed - the only American buried inside the Kremlin wall (right next to Lenin's tomb) writes this first-hand novel about the days up to the Russian Revolution. Obviously a sympathizer himself, he accounts this period lovingly and reverently.

It is a fascinating journey into one of the most important occurrences in 20th Century history. I listened right before a trip to Russia this summer and I must say, the context was quite useful.

A lovingly detailed, but biased account

A bad conversation despite every frightful gasp, however I just knew letting myself never overtly pass quickly rating sound took unfair vantage without Xanax you zebras!
