Hey all, I am very interested in reading historically well-founded and critical accounts of communist history in Russia and China. It seems hard to find good neutral accounts, since both Eastern and Western writers often have clear political agendas and thereby undermine their own credibility. I’m not asking for books that are necessarily lacking in political judgment — but well-researched, well-supported critical examinations of the facts. Books or collections of articles that closely follow the facts before making partisan political assessments.
