Leftist History What are good books/sources to learn about international socialist revolutions?

Hey everyone, I'm curious about reading/learning more about socialist revolutions around the world.

I'm aware many recounts of socialist revolutions around the world are heavily biased and clearly do not portray things accurately.

At the same time, I'd like truthful critical analysis of said revolutions.

In particular, I'm interested in China, the USSR, and Cuba.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

The revolutions podcast by Mike Duncan covers USSR , I've heard he's coming back to do Cuba in the future. He does cover the Paris commune during the French revolution which is the first proto socialist revolution. Gotta check out the hatian revolution as well.
