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!

    This book isn’t exclusively about the CPC, but I highly recommend “Mao and the Chinese Revolution” by Jerome Ch’en. He was a good author, so his own bias is not at all noticable, he pretty much just lays down a history of china (mainly focussing on mao’s life)
