This is a project I am passionate about btw. I have many many more books to rec on this subject if you any of you are interested, but these titles will give you ample places to start. If you read even two of these books including the propaganda I've listed and you are remotely familiar with 20th century historiography, you will notice gaping problems in trad narrative. This is virgin intellectual territory ripe for a new young mind to observe, question, and reflect on. Again, please don't take my word for it and read this stuff straight from the commie's mouth.

I actually located Charles Crane's autobiography (this guy loves to show up at the scene of the crime (always) and knows all the criminals (Harper knew him well in both Mid East and Russia he is a modern day Soros/NGO type) on archive and it is in some obscure awful format that can only be accessed in notepad files, but I will read this one too and share it in comment section when I get done.

BTW ALL these books are worth buying if you have money or time, but they can usually be located on archive.org. Grove has highlighted the importance of this site in the past. He is heroic in defending this invaluable resource. If you find an old source on there, ALWAYS look and see if you can download the pdf version of it, then do so.

Man, I don't really know a way to comment on your stuff without coming off as abrasive or autistic and I apologize. I don't like gaming stuff but I enjoy all your movie reviews and I appreciate that you get ppl to do deep dives on Civil War, Bleeding Kansas or whatever historical subject that has been colonized by redditor historians. The old books by Kemp or by Wrangel are great and you have saved them from the muck of modernity. Idk I don't want to be the AKSHULLY reply guy. I want random ppl to read these obscure sources I mentioned though. When I comment I am not trying to dissuade new ppl or whatever I want them to read your recs. If they like then I add stuff they can get even more into. I'm sorry if this shit is offputting. It is not my intention to be a prick so I am sorry if I am.

Whatever my social graces lack, I am not a free subscriber. A free subscriber (this is a true story) was dying in the hospital while I was there visiting my grandmother. The ER doctor said that he needed a urine transfusion on his face to save his life. This individual was writhing in pain and begging me for urine shower. I asked him what happened in A Perfect World ep after 10 minutes. Just to be sure I asked him twice. He couldn't answer so I went to the bathroom and emptied my bladder then left the hospital with a crystal clear conscience.
