They not have to be marxist specifically, but all of mine are. My favorites are: Walter Rodney, Lenin, Anuradha Ghandy and Vijay Prishad. I have been thinking of Red Star Over the Third World again recently, and I may decide to reread it soon.

After reading Catch-22, I was kinda disappointed to learn that it doesn't portray Heller's experiences in WW2. Obviously I didn't expect the wacky satirical stuff to be true, but I believed that the portrayal of the soldiers as jaded, looking to dodge as many missions as possible to get home alive was. But he stated that it was not at all like this, and that it was an enthusiastic, patriotic war (or something along these lines).

I suppose fighting Nazis does come with a certain motivational factor.
