I'm working my way through The Origins Of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt (about the factors leading up to the rise of Nazi Germany/Soviet Russia) and it's a fascinating read. I was wondering if there were similarly well-sourced (socio)political history books out there, as most of the stuff I've seen out there seems to be sensationalist crap. 20th century history in general seems to have caught my interest recently, although it's not like I restrict myself solely to that.

paolucciasiasi posted:Could someone recommend some non-fiction prison novels? Preferably biographies of inmates or anything that just goes over day to day life in prison. Erving Goffman's Asylums (which I recently finished) has a lot about the kind of organization that an inmate's life is subject to, and the ways in which they adapt to this kind of life. It's not exclusively about prisons; it's got stuff about prisons although it's primarily about closed wards in psychiatric hospitals. Then again, reading about it makes it seem like there's not THAT much difference between the two. Just give it a look and see if it's the kind of thing you'd be interested in. v  v
