It's really good. I find the Russian revolution the most fascinating period in history

If you're the kind of person who uses phrases like 'pro commie trash' you really do need to read more about communism - even if you still disagree with it, books like Reed's communicate perfectly the enthusiasm of what was still perhaps the most important moment of the whole of the 20th Century, doing a good job to explain it as a myth if not as a historical event. Read this book - and some other entry-level Marxist stuff, the manifesto, Edgar Snow's stuff on China, etc. - and you might understand why communism has been an essential part of the global system ever since.
