Вдоль фронта
Мемуары «Вдоль фронта» американского писателя и публициста Джона Рида, посланного военным корреспондентом на Балканы и в Россию в 1915 году, являются результатом поездки по восточной окраине воюющей Европы во времена Первой мировой войны. Поездка должна была продолжаться три месяца, но затянулась больше чем на полгода: побывав во Львове (Лемберге), автор попал в «великое русское отступление».Книга интересна не только блестящими правдивыми зарисовками мрачной и своеобразной «фронтовой жизни»; в ней ясно ощущается перерастание благодушного пацифизма автора в горячий принципиальный протест против империалистического характера войны.

American journalist John Silas Reed, a correspondent of World War I, recounted an experience in Petrograd during the revolution of October 1917 in Ten Days That Shook the World (1919) and, after returning to the United States, cofounded the Communist labor party in 1919; people buried his body in the Kremlin, the citadel, housing the offices of the Russian government and formerly those of the Soviet government, in Moscow.
This poet and Communist activist first gained prominence as a war correspondent during the Mexican revolution for Metropolitan magazine and during World War I for the magazine The Masses. People best know his coverage.
Reed supported the Soviet takeover of Russia and even briefly took up arms to join the Red guards in 1918. He expected a similar Communist revolution in the United States with the short-lived organization.
He died in Moscow of spotted typhus. At the time of his death, he perhaps soured on the Soviet leadership, but the Soviet Union gave him burial of a hero, one of only three Americans at the Kremlin wall necropolis.
