| | Amazon.ca: Ten Days That Shook the World: Books |
| | John Reed's "Ten Days That Shook the World" reached a large audience in the United States and internationally. | | | Reed's work definitely evokes the heady atmosphere of the Bolshevik Revolution, when it actually seemed as if the working class might rise up as one and seize the reins of power and therefore of its destiny. | | | Having just finished John Reed's great work of historical journalism I would call it compelling, articulate, a page-turner, etc. It is unfortunate that Reed died so young and was unable to see what his idealistic heroes set loose upon Russia and later the world. |

| | The copy of Insurgent Mexico from which this monograph quotes was copyrighted in 1969. | | | Unlike other journalists of his period who filed their reports from the comfort of "headquarters," Reed sought and found ways to join the revolutionary troops at the front. | | | In the first part of Insurgent Mexico, after filing initial descriptions from Ojinaga, Reed reports his travels some two hundred miles through the northern part of the state of Durango with a small guerrilla force, moving from hacienda to hacienda enroute to La Cadena where a small number of revolutionaries guarded a critical mountain pass. |

| | The movie never succeeds in convincing us that the feuds between the American socialist parties were much more than personality conflicts and ego-bruisings, so audiences can hardly be expected to care which faction is "the" American party of the left. | | | It is that personal, human John Reed that Warren Beatty's REDS takes as its subject, although there is a lot, and maybe too much, of the political John Reed as well. | | | The original John Reed was a dashing young man from Portland who knew a good story when he found one, and, when he found himself in the midst of the Bolshevik revolution, wrote a book called Ten Days That Shook the World and made himself a famous journalist. |
