Reseñas de la Crítica

"This recording is frankly more exciting, more intimate, and more conducive to learning than any other accounts of the Revolution." (Booklist)

A brilliant eyewitness account

Very informative perspective on the Russian Revolution from someone who was there at the time.

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!
