REED, John

Insurgent Mexico

First edition. A small owner's name on the front fly, slight soiling to the spine-ends, near fine in good plus photographic dustwrapper with several modest chips, and splash marks on the spine. Reed's first book by a major publisher, and his first hardcover, compiled from his dispatches while traveling with Pancho Villa's army for four months. In much the same way that Reed's later Ten Days That Shook the World provided one of the definitive eyewitness accounts of the Bolshevik Revolution, this work captures a firsthand perspective on the Mexican Revolution. Very scarce in jacket.
