Can you recommend some modern introductory books to Communism, Marxism-Leninism or the history of Communism? (hexbear.net)

I'm only really interested in books written in the last 30 years and ones that are accessible to complete newbies. Thanks!

Principles of Communism by Engels is old but it's actually a very easy and straight forward read. It's quick too. He lays it out in a Q&A format that covers basically all basic questions we all had starting out. It's so easy to digest that I actually recommend that over the Manifesto, and alongside Blackshirts and Reds as the latter covers communism's history which I think is pretty important as well.
