A list of leftist nonfiction books, in no particular order, which I have read and can personally recommend. From Socialism to Communism to Anarchism, whether historical or contemporary, if it's leftist it probably belongs here. And as I continue my literary journey, I will also naturally expand this list.
Any contribution to this list is welcome!
