Ten Days That Shook the World has become the classic eyewitness account of the Russian Revolution. Like all of Reed’s journalism, it is not objective. But Reed’s engagement with the events that were unfolding around him, his commitment to his socialist and pacifist ideals, lend a vibrancy and drama to the story that would certainly be absent from objective journalism or dry historical accounts. Reed describes life in Russia during 1917, the cold weather, the long lines waiting for bread, the meetings of the soviets. He describes the principal actors in the drama, Kerensky, Lenin, Trotsky, Zinoviev, and others. From this account we receive a sense of what that short moment must have been like, the suffering of the Russian peasants and soldiers, the failure of the Provisional Government, the commitment of the Bolsheviks.
