I want to write a Cold War Timeline similar to @TastySpam ‘s “The North Star is Red”, only with the POD being the Allies deciding to go for the soft underbelly of Europe instead of OTL D-Day, are there any good books, articles, and threads on this site that would be good research material for late World War 2, Soviet leadership in WW2 and after, and US politics in the early Cold War, along with some good books on post colonial Africa?

Post-Stalin Alternative Leaders

At the time people were afraid of Shelepin doing it. But later on it was suggested those were rumours spread by Brezhnev's faction, at least in part. Ahhh, interesting. So according to those accounts, what was his real agenda? fasquardon

This thread was very helpful.

I'm not sure how relevant all of these will be, but here's my research material for Patton in Korea. 'MacArthur's War' in particular is a really excellent read IMO :)
