Ten Days That Shook the World

John Reed
 

Note

Preface >

The original book of this text had a number of newspaper
clipings from the 1920’s and 1930’s included.  Most of these relate to
the violent deaths encountered by those playing a part in this book. 
Others reveal that Eisenstein made a film of “Ten Days”.  Stalin, who is
not mentioned in the book, suppressed the work.  Louise Bryant,
mentioned in the text, was married to John Reed, and after his death
married William Bullitt in 1923 (divorced 1930) and died in Paris in
1936 at age 41.  Mr. Bullitt was the first ambassador to Russia in the
Roosevelt administration, and later to France.  Harvard University
accepted a commissioned portrait of Reed in 1935 from a group of his
classmates and hung it in Adams House, site of the boarding house where
Reed lived at Harvard. ]
