  Ten days that shook the World Bank, by Diana Quattrocchi-Woisson
Argentina has lived through 10 days that sent so great a tremor through Argentine society that it will never be the same again.
We certainly cannot conclude that it was a subversive, anti-democratic movement that brought down two governments in 10 days.
Those who played a part in the decisive 10 days have realised their strength and intend to organise outside the traditional political parties.

Ten Days That Shook the World covers the lead up to the October Revolution, through to the end of the Peasants Congress on November 29th.
This puts the of the first day as the day of declaration of the Peasants and Workers Government on November 7, and the last as the day of the debate at Smolny, when four leading Bolsheviks resigned.
I think that Ten Days That Shook the World is the ideal book to read on the Russian Revolution- as it is written from inside/around that event- not from the safety of the academic historian's perspective- such as in A People's Tragedy.

For the first few months of the new régime, in spite of the confusion incident upon a great Revolution, when one hundred and sixty millions of the world’s most oppressed peoples suddenly achieved liberty, both the internal situation and the combative power of the army actually improved.
He is ready for barricades, but he has studied them, and alone of the workers of the world he has learned about them from actual experience.
Moreover, there is probably not a people in the world so well educated in Socialist theory and its practical application.

 October: Ten Days That Shook The World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
October: Ten Days That Shook The World (Russian: Октябрь (Десять дней, которые потрясли мир); transliteration: Oktyabr': Desyat' dney kotorye potryasli mir) is a Soviet silent film made in 1927 by Sergei Eisenstein, sometimes referred to simply as October in English.
The title is taken from John Reed's book on the Revolution, Ten Days That Shook The World.
Eisenstein used the film to further develop his theories of film structure, using a concept he described as "intellectual montage", the editing together of shots of apparently unconnected objects in order to create encourage intellectual comparisons between them.

 Ten Days that Shook the World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ten Days that Shook the World (1919) is a book by American journalist and socialist John Reed, about the October Revolution in Russia 1917 which Reed experienced first-hand.
Reed followed many of the prominent Bolshevik leaders, especially Grigory Zinoviev and Karl Radek, closely during his time in Russia, and there is no denying that the book sides with the Communists and their standpoints.
After the rise of Stalinism in Russia, Joseph Stalin argued that John Reed was wrong on many things in Ten Days that Shook the World, particularly the parts about Leon Trotsky, Stalin’s archenemy.

My view is that Shostakovich enjoyed playing with loud and heroic music and that Eisenstein enjoyed moving crowds about photogenically, but that neither had any inner commitment to the Soviet state in which they lived and tried to work (surviving denunciations from on high).
"October" is hard to follow as dramatic or historical narrative and only an idiot would look for balanced historical analysis in it even of the ten days, with a civil war across the vast country, disastrous economic policies, and reigns of terror still to come.
What "October" provides is a montage of images aiming to glorify the seizure of power by the masses and the incipient Red Army.

In that attic a young officer sat all day, pouring out over the country a flood of appeals and proclamations; and when he heard that the Palace had fallen, put on his hat and walked calmly out of the building....
In the midst of delirious enthusiasm he told how the cycle corps had been ordered three days before from the South-west front to the "defence of Petrograd." They suspected, however, the meaning of the order; and at the station of Peredolsk were met by representatives of the Fifth Battalion from Tsarskoye.

 October (Ten Days that Shook the World) Standard Release DVD - MovieWeb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Borrowing its title from a book by American journalist John Reed (of Reds fame), Sergei Eisenstein's Ten Days That Shook the World reenacts the crucial week-and-a-half in October, 1918, when the Russian Kerensky regime was toppled by the Bolsheviks.
While impressive on a technical level, the film never truly stirs the audience's emotions; Eisenstein purists have argued that this "alienation" technique was the director's intention all along, forcing the viewer to observe the events intellectually rather than emotionally.
Produced in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution, Ten Days That Shook the World was initially titled October.

Ten hellish days later, only 34 remained to form the 1954 team that would only win one game, but those survivors--and that's what they were--formed the nucleus of the squad that would go undefeated just two years later.
This is the story of that team, that coach, the 10 days that shook their world, and the seasons they played together.

"October" ("10 Days That Shook the World") written and directed by Sergei Eisenstein and Grigori Aleksandrov was commissioned by the Soviet Central Committee to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia.
As such, the film is a landmark slice of propaganda depicting the events of 1917, a relic not just for film lovers, and it's a remarkable piece of revisionist history too.

In Ten Days That Shook the World John Reed conveys, with the immediacy of cinema, the impression of a whole nation in ferment and disintegration.
Containing verbatim reports both of speeches by leaders and the chance comments of bystanders, set against an idealized backcloth of the proletariat, soldiers, sailors, and peasants uniting to throw off oppression, Reed's account is the product of passionate involvement and remains an unsurpassed classic of reporting.

Perhaps even to a greater extent than Battleship Potemkin, October: Ten Days That Shook the World, display a director with total confidence not only in his flourishing, insistent style, but in that of his mostly non-professional actors, crowds, real-locations, sets, and his crew.
And soon enough Eisenstein reaches his climax, the immense lot of 10 days that brought the country to a peak of change and possible prosperity for its people.
The one point that Eisenstein poses for his viewers- not just for his of-the-period silent film crowd but for those watching today- is that he is not making it boring for those who can give themselves to the images, the moments taken with some shots more than others.
