Soviet History.

[CrimsonTide]

Trying to find a book or two to read up on Soviet history, and that means total history, from Revolution to Collapse.

I don't want any capitalist mouthpieces, but neutral, unbiased sources will be accepted, along with pro-leftist ones.

Soviet Union 1 (http://www.marxists.org/subject/ussr/index.htm)


Eye-witness reports, histories and analyses of the Soviet Union under four headings: Education, Health Care, Labour and Women.

The above link cannot be considered as a History though.

I think this should be as much neutral as possible. (http://www.marxists.org/history/ussr/index.htm)

At my faculity we use Guizeppe Boffa's History of the USSR, and Isaac Deutscher's biographies of Stalin and Trotsky (for the early period).

Besides, what qualifies as "non biased"?

[Dewolfemann]

Heroic Struggle, Bitter Defeat is excellent

[RASHskins]

yea sorry man but you ain't gonna find anything unbiased everyone throws a bit of their opinion into any writing.

If you're serious, you have to start with John Reed's "Ten Days That Shook The World"
