Particularly good coverage -- based primarily on Kolko's Century of War and Politics of War, I think -- of the parallel ways the Western Allies dispossessed leftist resistance movements from their gains in former Axis territory and installed provisional governments run by fascist collaborators, and the USSR used its influence over Western trade unions and Communist Parties to suppress radical grassroots uprisings against capitalism (e.g. Stalin's collaboration with Churchill in imposing a reactionary regime on Greece, the French Communist Party and CGT betrayal of the student uprising and general strike in '68, etc.).
