Editorial Reviews:
Ten Days that Shook the World serves as an electrifying account of the events that took place in Petrograd in November of 1917. Writer John Reed was eyewitness to the revolution and privy to both the peripheral conversations in the community, as well as the intense speeches made by Russia's famous leaders. In this performance, Jack Hrkach communicates the enthusiasm and momentum of the revolution. His voice is steady and precise, making it easy for the listener to involve him or herself in the history of Reed's story.
Critic Reviews:
"This recording is frankly more exciting, more intimate, and more conducive to learning than any other accounts of the Revolution." (Booklist)
Members Reviews:
A lovingly detailed, but biased account
John Reed - the only American buried inside the Kremlin wall (right next to Lenin's tomb) writes this first-hand novel about the days up to the Russian Revolution. Obviously a sympathizer himself, he accounts this period lovingly and reverently.
It is a fascinating journey into one of the most important occurrences in 20th Century history. I listened right before a trip to Russia this summer and I must say, the context was quite useful.
The Narrator's Alphabet. All too quickly & Dryly.
A bad conversation despite every frightful gasp, however I just knew letting myself never overtly pass quickly rating sound took unfair vantage without Xanax you zebras!
