       | My strongest recommendation for "Homage to Catalonia", Orwell's
       | book about his involvement in the Spanish Civil war. It's not a
       | history, it's just the story of what happened to him. This is
       | before he wrote Animal Farm or 1984. But you can see how his
       | views were formed.

       | also a separate effort to collect opinions from American authors,
       | including Sherwood Anderson, Pearl Buck, Theodore Dreiser,
       | William Faulkner, Dashiell Hammett, Ernest Hemingway, Langston
       | Hughes, and many others. The text for that is online
