Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin, "although made as Communist
propaganda to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the mutiny in
1905, is an undoubted film classic. One of its sources was
Constantine Feldman's memoir which Faber Finds are reissuing one
hundred years after Constance Garnett's translation was first
published.
Of course this isn't objective history but it is a vivid
first-hand account of the unrest in Odessa and of the mutiny
itself, the twelve days when the Potemkin flew the red flag of
revolution and ruled the Black Sea.
Feldman's memoir is a rare book that should be better known;
it's scale is smaller but it stands comparison with John Reed's
"Ten Days that Shook the World," his eyewitness account of the 1917
Russian Revolution.
