The US giving aid to Cambodia doesn’t mean they weren’t Communist. The Cold War was NOT an ideological struggle, it was a geopolitical struggle.

Let see, a massive, CAPITALISM, ANTI-COMMUNIST country is giving said country supplies… HMMMM I WONDER HOW THAT WORKS!?
Do you realize how stupid you sound?
Geopolitics are dictated by IDEOLOGY you absolute twat. The reason the USA supported countries or destroyed them was based on its ideology of capitalist imperialism, with which it sought to protect its position and damage the USSR. The USSR sought the opposite, supporting communist countries and opposing capitalist ones.

No it’s spooks and shit
No, it was a struggle between two empire to see what Empire was stronger. Ideology just made alliances convent. If the Cold War was determined by Ideology what was there the Sino-Soviet split? The Cold War happened because Burgers wanted to be stronger than the Bears and vie versa.

Implying capitalism isn't spooks 'n shit.
That is what is being said. Two opposing empires battling over capitalism. The greedier more sociopathic fucks win. There's no "no" about it.

Anyone know if these books are any good?

I'd say any reading can be good reading if you interact and earnestly engage with material, whether good or bad in your own opinion, though I'd caution that Montifiore - the one who wrote the text review featured on the top of the second - is a virulent anti-communist who wrote a number of polemics on the Stalin era. There is, of course, some material to be gleaned from the work nonetheless, but it bears keeping that in mind and preparing in kind

The phrasing of my post didn't even imply this. Relax
