About this audiobook

In the autumn of 1913 John Reed was sent to Mexico by the Metropolitan Magazine to report the Mexican Revolution. He shared the perils of Pancho Villa's army for four months, present with Villa's Constitutional Army when it defeated Federal forces at Torreón, opening the way for its advance on Mexico City. Reed's time with the Villistas resulted in a series of outstanding magazine articles that brought Jack a national reputation as a war correspondent. Reed deeply sympathized with the plight of the peons and vehemently opposed American intervention, which came shortly after he left. Jack adored Villa, while Carranza left him cold. Jack's Mexican reports were later republished in book form as Insurgent Mexico, which appeared in 1914. (Summary from Wikipedia)

John Reed

John Reed (Portland, 1887 - Moscú, 1920). Fue testigo excepcional de los acontecimientos que cambiaron el rumbo de la historia en la primera mitad del siglo xx. Acompañó a Pancho Villa durante la revolución mexicana como corresponsal de guerra y viajó a lo largo de todo el frente oriental durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. En Petrogrado (hoy San Petersburgo) presenció el II Congreso de los Sóviets de Obreros, Soldados y Campesinos de toda Rusia, que coincidió con el inicio de la Revolución de Octubre. Al regresar a Estados Unidos, fundó el Partido Comunista de Estados Unidos. Fue acusado de espionaje, se vio obligado a escapar de su país y a refugiarse en la Unión Soviética, donde murió el 17 de octubre de 1920. Le enterraron en la Necrópolis de la Muralla del Kremlin, en Moscú, junto a los más notables líderes bolcheviques.
