A Biography of John Reed and Louise Bryant.

by Barbara Gelb.

Gelb presents a co-biography of the young husband and wife activists who fought against injustices, were journalists, traveled the world, observed and wrote abut revolutions and socialism, and died tragically young.

Reed authored the classic work, Ten Days That Shook The World, about the October Revolution in Russia in 1917, which Reed experienced firsthand.
