Hi everyone. I’m looking for some suggested reading (books or articles mainly. Although a video or podcast would be welcome as well) covering the following topics:
- fall of the USSR. Specifically the last few years of the USSR and the capitalist restoration period afterwards.
- History of Tibet leading up to the Chinese revolution. Also interested in US/CIA involvement in the decades after.
- History just of the CPC.
These don’t necessarily have to be Marxist analyses but it would be preferred. I just want to mainly avoid Western liberal bias.
Also I looked for some reading group communities on Lemmygrad. I found a couple but they weren’t very active. Does anyone have any active reading and discussion groups they recommend?
Thanks comrades!
Red Star Over China* by Edgar Snow is good. Snow was a journalist. From the US, I think. He went to China in the 1930s. The book is the story of his time with the early CPC army. It’s good.
I’m listening to the podcast ‘A Peoples History of Ideas’ and they just mentioned this book. Definitely on my list.
