Journey into the Whirlwind by Eugenia Semyonovna Ginzburg

5.0

First person perspective on life under Stalin and in the Gulags, which for some reason don't get near the attention that they should in history classes. This will teach you more about the perils of living under Post WW2 Stalinism than nearly any normal history class would, and is an interesting read to say the least.
