A lot of the recs in this thread cover events that resulted in imperial slaughter or triumph and left/anticolonial movements losing, so if you want a bloomer rec the book October by China Mieville is a gripping retelling of the February & October revolutions in Russia that overthrew the Tsar and then established a communist government. Gotta have a dream to work toward.
Thank you
I started this two days ago on your recommendation, and it's great. I've read some of Mievelle's fiction and enjoyed it, but was somehow unaware of this. Really enjoying it. Thanks, comrade.
Happy to hear!
