I would have just added a comment under the current weeks general thread. If it weren't for the fact that I really like the book and REALLY think you should read it.

Strong writes in a way that is easy to read. And, as she has done before, she writes about the successes of the Soviet Union and Socialism. My liberal brain-worms were writhing, chapter by chapter they could not accept what was written, too good to be true, propaganda! Though I must have gotten very happy reading about these success, because I at one point got teary-eyed.

quote from where it boiled over.

When a winter childbirth in a distant Arctic station developed complications, the neighbors got the Dixon Island surgeon on the radio and for more than three hours he directed over the air every detail while the whole of a much-worried Arctic listened in. When the child and mother were safe, congratulations poured in from thousands of miles of icebound waterfront.

Please read it, not because I made an epub (although yea, also that), but because I think it's a great book.

Yes it's the "secret speech". It has been debunked by several people but my favorite is Domenico Losurdo's "stalin the history and critique of a black legend". It is a very unique book, it only uses anti-communists sources to contradict the narratives lol.
