"This selection of writings is representative of John Reed's literary output as a journalist - with perhaps no peer among American reporters of his time - a war correspondent, essayist, storyteller, and poet. As a journalist, he was with Pancho Villa in Mexico, with the striking workers the United States, on the front lines in Europe during World War I, and in Russia during the revolution. John Reed's life was brief and dramatic. He wrote passionately about his issues and crises of his day. His 'Ten Days That Shook The World' remains a classic first-hand account of the Russian Socialist revolution. What he had to say reflected his profound desire for a future of peace and for a social order in which peace would thrive. An introductory essay by John Stuart supplies the background for these writings, as well as an understanding of John Reed's development and the meaning of his life." - From back cover.
