In the basement of Helping Hands Hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal, there is a meeting room. Its left and right sides are lined with stacks of large books, some with torn covers. These are rare books about Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and others. They sit like prisoners, yearning for readers to set them free. The place is known as Harry Magdoff Memorial Library.
