mononoaware reviewed Ten Days that Shook the World by John Reed
Awesome
4 stars
quite an objective and in-depth account of the greatest event in human history, in which the working masses for the first time (barring the short-lived episode of the Paris Commune) stormed the skies, entered the stage of world history and took their fate into their own hands, laying the groundwork for an end to the Great Slaughter of World War I. Great for debunking all the pile of lies and distortions that have been amassed around the Bolshevik Revolution over the past century. Also shows that it was Trotsky, not Stalin that played the pivotal role in the events of October. Though John Reed's writing style feels a little bit too tangential at times.
