Are there any scholarly sources analyzing former communist snitch memoirs like Whittaker Chambers' Witness, Louis Budenz's This Is My Story, or Bella Dodd's School of Darkness?

I'm curious about the mentality of former communists who dipped and turned state, the "true" reasons they left communism to begin with, what inspired them to snitch, how their "redemption" stories were anything but, etc.

Would also be nice if there was a critical review of David Piece-of-Shitz's Radical Son.

Don’t remember what it’s called, but there was a book on psychoanalysis published shortly after Chambers’ death which proved he was a psychopath who snitched on Hiss mainly out of revengeful reasons.

I have the full PDF but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post that on here for copyright bullshit reasons.

Is it on scihub?

There's also Thomas Sowell an "ex-communist". Pretty funny what he says about communism and why it can't work.

Don't think so.

Is there a place where I could legally upload the entire PDF and not face penalties?

What makes you think you’d get in trouble if you uploaded it on here?
