Description
Red-cloth hardcover - overall good condition (see photos). 480 pp, illustrated with 53 photographs.
“I had been alive at a great moment, and knew it was great,” Bessie Beatty wrote in her historical account, 'The Red Heart of Russia'.
A remarkable woman and war correspondent of WW1, Bessie Beatty devoted her life to societal issues-- women's suffrage, unions, support for the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. In 1917, Beatty travelled to Russia with John Reed and Louise Bryant on behalf of the San Francisco Bulletin...Beatty secured a room in the War Hotel, where Russian officers were living. From there she witnessed the significant moments that occurred in revolutionary Russia. She traveled to the trenches where Russians were fending off German advances, spent a week with the Women’s Battalion of Death, interviewed peasants, soldiers, and sailors. On November 7, 1917, the day the Winter Palace fell, Beatty obtained a pass from the Military Revolutionary Committee that allowed access everywhere in the city-- Beatty was one of the first civilians to enter the Winter Palace after the removal of the provisional government of Alexander Kerensky. Beatty was at meetings of important revolutionaries who decided the fate of Russia, there in Russia as Lenin and Trotsky argued over concessions to Germany and was at the only meeting of the Constituent Assembly before its downfall. Bessie Beatty visited prisoners in Peter and Paul Prison, some the former ministers of the provisional government, and attended trials of political criminals and peasant conventions in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
