10 Days that shook the world
It is a fantastic book with on the ground reporting in the hours and days surrouding the October revolution in russia in 1917 and the bolsheviks seizing power its also low key hilarious like theres a part with a upper class nerd on a train arguing with an illiterate bolshevik who keeps trying determinately to explain to the liberal that "you see comrade, there are two classes, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, and- " and the liberal said some lib shit and the bolshevik said "no comrade, you see, there are two classes
Its also very digestible because its not heavily into theory, its more context and making the whole thing more concrete, you get to watch it happen. Highly recommend, no matter if you're a lib trot maoist M&L or anarchist, its just juicy stuff
the entire Harry Potter series. Nobody said leftist theory, now you must read lib theory.
