Going back decades, I have been haunted by the fact that most people possess at least an adequate understanding of Hitler and the Nazi evil, but little or no understanding of Stalin and the Communist evil.

“In Search of Dracula” by Raymond T. McNally & Radu Florescu

This is the sort of book that a person could hold onto indefinitely, delve into repeatedly, and emerge with an arsenal of life- and sanity-saving insights.
