John Reed's account of Russia from February to October 1917 is captivating. Bourgeois history often disconnects events from the masses, focusing on figures like Lenin or Trotsky. Rarely does it paint a true picture of the masses. This is the Great Man Theory, a common perspective in historical analysis. However, I argue that this perspective can lead to misleading and distorted conclusions about history. Great book.

Fucking fantastic.

Just finished the introduction. Already, I can tell this is going to be a good book. I really like the author's writing style, as he's very engaging, and even incorporates humor. I also appreciate the leitmotif he has chosen for his book.
