John Reed’s “Ten Days that Shook the World”
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses John Reed’s 1934 account of the Bolsheviks and the
Russian Revolution of 1917. Reed was an unapologetic communist
before communism became demonized. His book and Reed himself,
have inspired a great deal of controversy. Through Reed’s
commentary, it is possible to understand many of the objectives
and fundamental goals of the revolutionary leaders and that the
larger intention of the Russian Revolution was not at all evil
but was based on the most basic of premises -- equality. No
doubt, readers would see the corrupt sides of the Revolution if
Reed’s book had gone further than the October Revolution.
