The Three-Body Problem, by Chinese scifi novelist Cixin Liu, opens with a scene depicting a "struggle session" from the Cultural Revolution. His vivid writing personalizes the experiences I've seen in overview in historical documentaries, and read and heard about at the Rewi Alley memorial in Springfield.

Have you read Koestler's "Darkness at noon"? The plot seems very similar, just that Koestler writes about stalinist culture.
