ثلاث ثورات: روسيا، الصين، كوبا، والرحلات الملحمية التي غيرت العالم

The thrilling, untold story of how six epic journeys of three communist revolutions were launched that changed world history forever. From the streets of Petrograd during the thrilling fall of 1917, to Mao's stunning victory in October 1949, and Fidel's 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. In Three Revolutions, the stories of these pivotal events are told together for the first time. Every revolution was an odyssey at its heart: Lenin's return to Russia in 1917 from exile in Switzerland; Mao Zedong's "Long March" of 1934-35, which extended nearly 6,000 miles across China; Fidel Castro returned to Cuba in 1956 after his exile in Mexico. Alongside these events, the journeys of three exceptional journalists are told - John Reed, Edgar Snow, and Herbert L. Matthews – whose poignant testimonies from the front lines of each revolution have made a crucial contribution to the wider understanding of these revolutions in the world. Here, in Simone Hall's masterful retelling, these six remarkable journeys are brought to life with stark clarity. With an outstanding cast, extraordinary drama, and an epic story, Three Revolutions asks fundamental questions about the nature of political power, the limits of idealism, and the role of the journalist—questions that remain vitally important today.
