Insurgent Mexico -- John Reed

<p>Toward the end of 1913 John Reed was sent to cover the revolution in Mexico by <em>Metropolitan</em>, a widely read magazine whose writers included the leading muckrakers and reformers of the time. He was also commissioned as a correspondent by the <em>New York World</em>. Then twenty-six years of age, Reed had already won some fame as a journalist, having earlier that year reported the fierce silk workers strike in Paterson, New Jersey, led by the I.W.W. </p><p>Reed's articles from Mexico established him among the top journalists of his day. Insurgent Mexico, his first published book, included episodes which first had appeared in the <em>Metropolitan</em>. Later, in a brief autobiographical essay, he referred to his days in Mexico as "the most satisfactory period of my life."</p><p>The preface to this edition is by Renato Leduc, a leading Mexican journalist who was a telegrapher with Villa's army at the time Reed sent his dispatches from Mexico.</p><p><br></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> John Reed<br><b>Publisher:</b> International Publishers<br><b>Published:</b> 08/16/2021<br><b>Pages:</b> 290<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.42lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.01h x 4.39w x 0.59d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780717800995
