I’ve taken a break from nonfiction for a while (finished lotr and read a whole bunch of Stephen king). Now I want to go back to reading nonfiction, but I want something that will pull me in another world of facts I didn’t know about. Be it political, sociology… anything really. I don’t know if “facts” is the word I’m looking for here (English is my second language). Can I say “discoveries”? Things you’ve found through the book that shocked you? Hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance
Edit: Thank you all for the great suggestions. I’ve saved this post and will go through the list. Much, much appreciated 🫶🏽
Oh, good topic! I always recommend Blackshirts and Reds. Another good one is Michael Hudson’s Super-Imperialism. I also intend on reading Settlers soon. Can’t neglect to mention Capital, the sections specifically on the conditions of labor in early Britain, with child labor, suffocation, crushing, etc. were genuinely revolting.
As a side-note, I made an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list, if you find yourself generally interested in the topics I listed above.
These are hard hitters. Damn. Added to the list. Thank you
No problem!
