one classic marxist book is out of the night by jan valtin.
it is the autobiography of a member of the cp and then the comintern during the uprising in germany in 1918/19 to his capture by the gestapo and then by the gpu before fleeing to america. it shows the herioc struggles that the working class undertook during this period and the stalinist measures to derail them.
the conclusions the author draws i believe are incorrect and the book should be taken with a pinch of salt. however i recommened it to anyone.
