| Sumario: | "An American journalist on assignment for the New York-based communist newspaper, The Masses, John Reed provides a riveting description of the events that led to Lenin and the Bolsheviks seizing state power. Crackling with energetic immediacy, Reed's chronicle is based on his days and nights walking the streets and visiting the meeting halls in a city ablaze with revolutionary fervor. His reports are crammed with urgent information gleaned from handbills, newspapers, and posters, and from talking to the soldiers, peasants and industrial workers who have flooded to the city to join the ranks of an insurgency that would storm the Czar's Winter Palace and declare a revolutionary government."--Image of back cover |
