nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book contains historical photographs from the Russian Revolution. John Reed was on an assignment for The Masses, a magazine of socialist politics, when he was reporting the Russian Revolution. Although Reed states that he had 'tried to see events with the eye of a conscientious reporter, interested in setting down the truth' during the time of the event, he stated in the preface that 'in the struggle my sympathies were not neutral' (since the book leans towards the Bolsheviks and their viewpoints).

Kennan saw it as 'a reflection of blazing honesty and a purity of idealism that did unintended credit to the American society that produced him, the merits of which he himself understood so poorly.' On March 1, 1999, The New York Times reported New York University's 'Top 100 Works of Journalism' list, which placed Ten Days that Shook the World at in seventh position.…
