I've seen several book recommendation lists, and since I'm still in the theory education phase, most of the books I've gotten have been with that in mind. However, I'm actually quite interested in broader soviet history. Are there any trustworthy books that I can read about all the different soviet republics and how they each joined the union? I know the USSR wasn't perfect, but I doubt Georgia joined the union through conquest as seems to be the lib consensus.

Thanks

Thanks for linking my guide! I want to add that that version is now considered "unsupported," and will eventually get an overhaul. The currently "supported" list is my new basic study guide, which reflects what I've learned from making the older guides. Better flow, more succinct, and increased engagement with the follower via study questions and artwork.
