John Reed: The Making of a Revolutionary is a biography written by Granville Hicks that explores the life and political activism of American journalist and socialist, John Reed. The book traces Reed's journey from his privileged upbringing in Portland, Oregon to his radicalization as a writer and activist during the early 20th century. Hicks delves into Reed's involvement in the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and his coverage of the Mexican Revolution, which inspired him to become a committed Marxist. The book also covers Reed's experiences as a war correspondent during World War I and his role in the Russian Revolution of 1917, where he witnessed the rise of the Bolsheviks and the overthrow of the Tsarist regime. Through extensive research and analysis, Hicks provides a comprehensive portrait of Reed's life, his political beliefs, and his contributions to the socialist movement in the United States. The book sheds light on the tumultuous political climate of the early 20th century and the influence of socialism on American politics. Overall, John Reed: The Making of a Revolutionary is a compelling biography that offers insight into the life of a prominent figure in American socialist history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
