Hello comrades,

As I have mentioned before I am an aspiring Marxist-Lenninist. You have given me great tips on how to approach the theory, but my next question is as follows. What recommendations do u guys have to learn about history from an Marxist perspective. I would prefer books as those are easier to read for me.

I would like books on the following topics and time periods:

  • ancient civilisations
  • classical antiquity
  • the middle ages
  • the renaissance
  • the enlightenment
  • the colonial eras
  • industrial revolution
  • age of imperialism
  • the world wars
  • anything related to Yugoslavia, Cuba, USSR, Ukraine, Poland and china

I hope my question is understandable! My knowledge in history is a bit limited as I have not had a particularly high education in the past. I’m start a political science degree this September and want a good historical basis.
