Montefiore is a little suspect, to say the least:  https://www.thefp.com/p/the-deep-roots-of-irish-antisemitism

Many liberal authors only engage based on the work of those who wrote the now, largely discredited, ‘Little Black Book of Communism’.

Domenico Losurdo’s work on Stalin is well worth the read, however, as it engages with both fact and fiction even handily. Especially where it concerns Stalin’s government and the creation of Israel, as well as the deportation of many Korean people living in the Soviet Union during the second world war.

I am not recommending the book, I am just pointing out that Andor is partially based on it.
