ANDREW HARTMAN</p><p>The gripping, untold story of how six epic journeys launched the three communist revolutions that changed world history forever.</p><p>From the streets of Petrograd during the heady autumn of 1917, to Maos stunning victory in October 1949, and Fidels triumphant arrival in Havana, in January 1959, the history of the twentieth century was transformed in dramatic and profound ways by the Russian, Chinese, and Cuban revolutions.</p><p>In <em>Three Revolutions</em>, the stories of these epoch-defining events are told together for the first time. At the heart of each revolution was an epic journey: Lenins 1917 return to Russia from exile in Switzerland; Maos Long March of 1934-35, covering some 6,000 miles across China; and Fidel Castros return to Cuba in 1956 following his exile in Mexico. Told in tandem with these are the corresponding journeys of three extraordinary journalists - John Reed, Edgar Snow and Herbert L. Matthews - whose electric testimony from the frontlines of each revolution would make a decisive contribution to how these revolutions were understood in the wider world.</p><p>Here, in Simon Halls masterful retelling, these six remarkable journeys are brought vividly to life. Featuring a stellar cast, extraordinary drama and an epic sweep, <em>Three Revolutions</em> raises fundamental questions about the nature of political power, the limits of idealism and the role of the journalist - questions that remain of utmost urgency today.</p>...7083035Three Revolutions280329https://www.gandhi.com.mx/three-revolutions-9780571367184/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7055010/image.jpg?v=638832318086300000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259780571367184_W3siaWQiOiI4ZGM0OTYxNC04OTMyLTQ5ZmEtYWIzZC1lOWE3YTkzZDU4MzgiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMyOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQ5LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjI4MCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDgtMjVUMjI6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780571367184_<p>A salve for our current reactionary times.
