| Summary | "Ten Days That Shook the World" by John Reed is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents a detailed narrative of the November Revolution in Russia, emphasizing the Bolsheviks' seizure of power and its profound impact on the country's future. It captures the turmoil and social upheaval in Petrograd, illustrating the conflict between various political factions and the struggles of the working class, soldiers, and peasants during a critical moment in Russian history. The opening of the book sets the stage for the events leading up to the Bolshevik Revolution, detailing the growing discontent among the Russian populace due to the failures of the Provisional Government and the bourgeoisie. Reed reflects on the radicalization of the masses, the class struggle, and the complex political landscape characterized by various socialist factions. Through personal observations and accounts, he introduces key themes such as the demand for peace, land, and workers' control, leading to a rising momentum for the Bolshevik cause that ultimately culminated in the revolutionary upheaval. This initial portion serves to contextualize the urgent societal changes and the historical significance of the revolution, highlighting the fervent spirit of the people ready to fight for their demands.
