Ten Days That Shook the World
Ten Days That Shook the World, history by John Reed, published in 1919. A dramatization by Robert E. Lee was produced in 1973.
A reportorial, firsthand, and sympathetic account of the November Revolution in Russia (1917), when, as the author puts it, “the Bolsheviki, at the head of the workers and soldiers, seized the state power of Russia and placed it in the hands of the Soviets.” After prefatory explanation of political groups and other organizations, and of the background of the uprising, the work tells with graphic detail of the fall of the provisional government, the revolution and counterrevolution, the solidifying of power, and the resultant congress. |
