American journalist John Reed’s reportage of his days with the Mexican guerillas under Pancho Villa during the Mexican Revolution of 1914 established him as a top journalist of his time. Here, in a collection first published by Reed himself, he gives an excellent realistic account of the Mexican Indians and peons who have suffered under a brutal dictatorship and captures the verve and spirit of their rising from ages of repression. Reed’s description of the desert marches, the battles and the exploits of the tropa is among the classics of its genre. A few years later his Ten Days That Shook the World about the Russian Revolution crowned his achievement as the founder of the modern school of journalism.
