If you've never studied socialism, Blackshirts and Reds is a fantastic intro to the USSR. Better yet, just listening to the author's 1986 Lecture is phenomenal.

I'd recommend "Merchants of doubt" by Naomi Oreskes. Scientific and political history of climate and science denial.

Pema Chodron's Welcoming the Unwelcomed is good. So is nonviolent communication by Marshall Rosenberg.
