Larisa Reisner (18951926), fighter, commissar, and diplomat, was one of the most brilliant and popular writers of the Russian Revolution. Her journalism from her travels in Russia and Ukraine, Germany, Persia and Afghanistan was read by millions in the new mass circulation Soviet press. Together here for the first time in translation are the six books of her journalism, The Front, Afghanistan, Berlin October 1923, Hamburg at the Barricades and In Hindenburg's Country, all written in the last nine years of her life, before her death at the age of thirty.
