I’m writing a story from the perspective of a Soviet general who’s extremely loyal to the communist party. What books would give me insight into that mindset?
There’s a fantastic Superman trade paperback called The Red Son

**The Red Army’s Do-it-Yourself, Nazi Bashing Guerrilla Warfare Manual by Lester W. Grau**
This manual, translated from original training texts, provides invaluable insight into the mindset of the Soviet military.
**Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar by Simon Sebag Montefiore**
This book explores the internal dynamics of Stalin’s inner circle, offering insights into the loyalty demanded by the Party.

A narrative of workers in the early Soviet Union, showcasing their belief in a grand future despite difficult present conditions.

What period do you want to write in? The Brezhnev years had a different tone than the Stalinist period.
