  • He’s not a hard writer to get into at all. Some Marxist writing can come across a bit dry and clinical but Parenti is always a breeze in my experience, there’s a reason he’s so beloved. The obvious answer is Blackshirts and Reds. It’s very short (could be finished in an afternoon or two) and covers such a wide array of topics it’s honestly astounding. From there I’d go to Inventing Reality - it’s like Manufacturing Consent but actually good. (Gets a bit repetitive in the second half, only in the way history tends to, repeating itself and whatnot) His Julius Caesar book is good but only really worth a read if it’s a subject you’re already interested in.
