Insurgent Mexico

By John Reed

From the publisher:

John Reed's reportage of his days with the Mexican guerillas under Pancho Villa established him as a top journalist of his time. Here, in a collection first published by Reed himself in 1914, is captured the verve and spirit of the Mexican people rising from ages of repression. Reed's description of the desert marches, the battles and the exploits of the troops 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 schools of journalism.
