On the topic of purges and the historiography of actually existing Communism: I've been reading The Three-Body Problem and the parts that take place during the Cultural Revolution seem to be critical of the actions of the Communists. I only have a vague, possibly incorrect understanding of the Cultural Revolution, that it was hardcore Communist youth groups denouncing/killing/imprisoning/exiling alleged counter-revolutionaries that the party eventually had to reign in. Is there a good history of the Cultural Revolution that isn't explicitly anti-Communist and, while I understand this is probably harder to get (especially in English), is there any information on what modern Chinese people and historians think about it?

Any book recommendations for a history of the Korean War? I've been trying to listen to Blowback S3 but I have a hard time retaining information from podcasts. I checked their sources list and it's extensive but I only really have time for 1 or 2 books.
