>'Spider Eaters' by Rae Yang

Yang is a professor of Chinese literature and the book is a memoir of her experience in the cultural revolution

>'Mao's Great Famine' by Frank Dikotter

Dikotter is a historian who specializes in Chinese history and teaches at the University of Hong Kong, and this book is based on 4 years of research he did by combing through fairly recently uncovered archives and documents from local to state level. Heres a decent article on the book

>'The Gulag Archiplago' by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

pretty self explanatory, but I think people who havent read it have this misconception that the book is simply his memoir+stories of other people he knew who were in the gulags, but its a history based on his own archival research into the legal history of the early soviet union between 1918-1956, with his own personal stories or the stories of others peppered in to give a human face the event he is describing.

>'Stalin: Volume I: Paradoxes of Power, 1878–1928' and 'Stalin: Volume II: Waiting for Hitler, 1929-1941' by Stephen Kotkin

long as fuck and I havent read them yet, but they are the first two parts in this epic long biography of Stalin that Kotkin is planning.

this is all about how hollywood was infested with communist agents in the 30s-40s and how this isnt some right wing reactionary boogeyman. A really interesting story no one seems to know about

The Communist Party of America was taking order and money from the Kremlin in order to take control over hollywood and use it as a tool to create communist propaganda. They created unions that engaged not only in black balling certain actors or producers for not playing ball with them, they also used riots and strikes and physical violence to get their way, as well as using black propaganda. You know how everyone knows that Walt Disney was a raging antisemitic Hitler lover? Yeah, that was a rumor the communist unions made up about him after he opposed the cartoonist union.

If you've ever seen the movie "On the Waterfront" its all about this. Elia Kazan was initially on board with socialism, but he was disgusted at the corruption and censorship he saw and worked with the government to root out and call out the commies, something they hated him for. Much like how the story of the movie is about a dock worker reluctantly calling out a corrupt union boss. The hatred was to a point that even when he received his lifetime achievement award at the academy awards, there was a protest outside and even still a lot of people refused to stand for him and even booed him (Roman Polanski, a child rapist, received a standing ovation in contrast a few years later btw)

Heres the author of the book on cspan

TL;DR-communist took over hollywood in the 1930s-1940s

Anything by Robert Conquest or Solzhenitsyin, Rudolph Rummel, any literature on the Khmer Rouge, Yang Jishengs Tombstone, the political treatises of Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, Pictures of the Socialistic Commonwealth, and Matthew Whites Atrocitology. Those come to my mind right now.

Never thought I'd saw razorfist get mentioned here but his video was pretty good.
