In light of some comments made in June by a well placed presidential advisor I have some books you may want to read lest you too think Mao Tse Tung was a great "political philosopher."
Mao: The Unkown Story by Chang and Halliday

Alexander Solzhenitsyn 1918-2008
Alexander Solzhenitsyn was not only a towering intellect but a courageous man. Check out these tributes:
Albert Mohler
He was born in 1918, the very year following the Soviet Revolution. That same year the Communist Party began to create an extensive system of political prisons and concentration camps known as "gulags." Solzhenitsyn would bring the reality of Soviet oppression to the world's attention through his writings, including a 300,000-word history of the camps, published as The Gulag Archipelago. As author Joseph Pearce reflected, "Thus it was that Alexander Solzhenitsyn and the Gulag Archipelago were born within weeks of each other, children of the same revolution."
John Piper
No one did more than Solzhenitsyn to expose the horrors of the failed communist experiment in Russia. Hitler’s purge would pale, if such things could pale, when compared to ten times the carnage in Stalin’s gulags.
