If we are to be 100% objective, the Chinese Revolution also saved millions. Life expectancy doubled, and hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty. We also know that the Black Book of Communism has long been debunked, it included made up numbers, Nazis killed during World War II as victims of Communism, and non-births as deaths.
According to Wikipedia, even a few of its own co-authors have denounced it, saying the main author was obsessed with inflating the numbers.
Yep, it's a notoriously bad book.
