Marxist works on US history (PDFs inside)
Ismail:
Myself and others are involved in scanning old books, and some of them happen to do with US history from a Marxist perspective. I have permission from the publishers when I do scan them (when said publishing house/copyright still exists, that is.) Some books, however, I find online.
Due to this forum's character limit, there is only a limited number of books I can put in this one post. For a larger list see this link: http://eregime.org/index.php?showtopic=17670
