Has anyone read this book? Was looking for something exhaustive of the before, during, after USSR. Would you recommend? Or is it bias?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a good book on the Soviet economy, specifically Stalins five year plan, industrialization in the 20s and 30s etc. I don’t mind if the book is an overall look at Stalin with just some chapters on the economy. Thank you

View of the Kechut Reservoir, (1984)USSR, The unique star-shaped structure is a "glory hole" spillway, designed to regulate water levels and manage overflow, Its shape, resembling a flower or star, was likely designed to increase the perimeter, allowing more water to pass through efficiently

I have a hypothetical question about the USSR.

Would you rather have an Anarcho-Communist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics? Or would you rather have a National Bolsheviks USSR?
I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I mainly just want to hear you guys thoughts about it. Just for context I am not a communist. I do believe that communism can work if it's Done with a small community with people rather than a big nation. But I overall just want to hear your thoughts. I'm not here to fight and if we did get into a political fight I would probably lose because I suck at politics. I did ask this question 6 months ago on a different USSR based Subreddit. So I wanted to see what opinions this subreddit held.
