"Reed's sympathies clearly lie more with Villa than Carranza." -John Reed and the Writing of Revolution (2002)"Remains a classic not only for the vividness of his prose but also for the often astute cultural commentary and reflections he presented about the revolutionary forces." -Iconic Mexico (2015)"One of the most objective works...ever written about the country...appreciated Villa's democratic spirit." -American and British Writers in Mexico (2011)American journalist John 'Jack' Reed writes, on the scene, describing the Mexican Revolution of 1914. He gives an excellent and realistic account of the Mexican Indians and peons that have suffered under a brutal dictatorship. He writes about the time he spent in Northern Mexico with Pancho Villa and the war in the desert. It was hard for him as a Gringo as most Americans had only gone to Mexico to pluner the enviornment. Read "The White Rose' by Bruno Traven and his other 'jungle' series books about the exploitation of Indian Mexican's. Many would say that Jack Reed took over from Jack London in his war reporting, since Jack had just died in 1914. Jack Reed's other famous book "Ten Days That Shook The World" is about the Red October (Boleshvik) Russian Revolution - the movie "Reds" by Warren Beaty is Jack Reed's story. A Collector's Edition.

From the NHL’s most unexpected All-Star MVP comes a sports memoir unlike any other. Hilarious, candid, and reflective, A Guy Like Me recounts the heartwarming story of John Scott: an average joe who became a sports superhero overnight.Known as a willing-and-able fighter and bruiser in the league, John Scott was a surprising and tongue-and-cheek nominee for the 2016 NHL All-Star Game. He’d been in the league for over eight NHL seasons, playing for teams such as the Wild, Blackhawks, Rangers, Sabres, and the Sharks. Scott’s best attribute as an NHL player was dropping his gloves—never the best player, the 260 pounder did become the most feared fighter in the NHL, racking up extensive penalty minutes. In order to prevent him from playing in the game, his current team—the Phoenix Coyotes—traded Scott to the Montreal Canadians, who demoted him to the AHL team in an attempt to disqualify him from playing in the All-Star Game. Fans were outraged and Scott was devastated. He’d been downgraded in his job—forced to relocate while his wife was pregnant with twin girls. But the fans wouldn’t back down and insisted the NHL let Scott play in the game. The league relented, and Scott not only was invited to attend the NHL game in Nashville, but was nominated a team captain. The media and sports fans at large fell in love with the giant six-foot-eight player who by all means, was just a normal guy and no superstar player. In a true Cinderella story, Scott scored two goals and was the All-Star Game’s MVP. This is his personal memoir—detailing his life growing up and how he was able to keep his sense of humor and become the ultimate Cinderella-Story of hockey.

John Reed (1887 – 1920) was an American journalist, poet, and socialist activist, best remembered for his first-hand account of the Bolshevik Revolution, "Ten Days That Shook the World." After World War I began Reed went to Central Europe as a war corresponddent in 1915, a journey on which he was accompanied by Canadian artist and frequent Masses contributor Boardman Robinson. Traveling from Thessaloniki, they met scenes of profound devastation in Serbia and they were arrested, incarcerated for several weeks and liable to be shot for espionage. These wartime experiences led to Reed's book, "The War in Eastern Europe", published in 1916.With splendid descriptive power, enthusiasm, and sympathetic understanding he takes us back of the scenes and shows us the poignant tragedy of the war in the Balkans, in Russian Poland.Like so many other promising young American writers. John Reed hastened to Europe at the outbreak of the war. Circumstances altered his plans, for he just grazed the 'front.' Fortunately he made the most of his disappointment. By studying the normal life of the Eastern natives under the strain of long-drawnout warfare, after they had settled down to 'war as a business,' he was able to write a book which is a unique contribution to present-day war history.Mr Reed takes the reader thru poor typhus-ridden Serbia, into floundering Russia, then back to Rumania and Bulgaria. With fine sympathy and understanding he pictures the abjectness as well as the splendid qualities of patriotism and hospitality of the Serbian peasant. He scalds Russia with burning indignation for her blundering inefficiency and almost unbelievable brutality to the Jews and towards alien races.Thruout the book one notices a tendency towards the dramatic, which Mr Reed accomplishes with the finesse of an artist. The War in Eastern Europe is decidedly worth reading. In literary quality, for one thing, it is much above the flood of 'war literature' that had deluged the reading public of his time.Reed writes: "As I look back on it all, it seems to me that the most important thing to know about the war is how the different peoples live; their environment, tradition, and the revealing things they do and say. In time of peace, many human qualities are covered up which come to the surface in a sharp crisis; but on the other hand, much of personal and racial quality is submerged in time of great public stress. And in this book Robinson and I have simply tried to give our impressions of human beings as we found them in the countries of Eastern Europe, from April to October, 1915."ContentsI.

But after all I waded the river one day and went up into the town. Luckily, I did not meet General Orozco. No one seemed to object to my entrance. All the sentries I saw were taking a siesta on the shady side of adobe walls. But almost immediately I encountered a courteous officer named Hernandez, to whom I explained that I wished to see General Mercado.Without inquiring as to my identity, he scowled, folded his arms, and burst out:"I am General Orozco's chief of staff, and I will not take you to see General Mercado!"I said nothing. In a few minutes he explained:"General Orozco hates General Mercado! He does not deign to go to General Mercado's cuartel, and General Mercado does not dare to come to General Orozco's cuartel! He is a coward. He ran away from Tierra Blanca, and then he ran away from Chihuahua!""What other Generals don't you like?" I asked.He caught himself and slanted an angry look at me, and then grinned:"Quien sabe....?"I saw General Mercado, a fat, pathetic, worried, undecided little man, who blubbered and blustered a long tale about how the United States army had come across the river and helped Villa to win the battle of Tierra Blanca.The white, dusty streets of the town, piled high with filth and fodder, the ancient windowless church with its three enormous Spanish bells hanging on a rack outside and a cloud of blue incense crawling out of the black doorway, where the women camp followers of the army prayed for victory day and night, lay in hot, breathless sun. Five times had Ojinaga been lost and taken. Hardly a house that had a roof, and all the walls gaped with cannon-shot. In these bare, gutted rooms lived the soldiers, their women, their horses, their chickens and pigs, raided from the surrounding country. Guns were stacked in the corners, saddles piled in the dust. The soldiers were in rags; scarcely one possessed a complete uniform. They squatted around little fires in their doorways, boiling corn-husks and dried meat. They were almost starving.- Taken from "Insurgent Mexico" written by John Reed
