Washington Bullets is written in the best traditions of Marxist journalism and history-writing. It is a book of fluent stories, full of detail about US imperialism, but never letting the minutiae obscure the larger political point. It is a book that could easily have been a song of despair - a lament of lost causes; it is, after all, a roll call of butchers and assassins; of plots against people's movements and governments; of the assassinations of socialists, Marxists, communists all over the Third World by the country where liberty is a statue.

The US empire needs to fall

The history, and the present, of heinous imperialist crimes
Revisado: 02-12-25
Prashad annihilates all hope for a system that survives on mass atrocities. He aches for the dignity of the people and the heroes of freedom yielded therefrom. Read "Washington Bullets" when you want that anger and dismay at the base of your heart to see the light of day, such that you might act on it.

Most historians, both ancient and modern, have viewed the Late Republic of Rome through the eyes of its rich nobility - the one percent of the population who controlled 99 percent of the empire's wealth. In The Assassination of Julius Caesar, Michael Parenti recounts this period, spanning the years 100 to 33 BC, from the perspective of the Roman people. In doing so, he presents a provocative, trenchantly researched narrative of popular resistance against a powerful elite.

Open your mind
Revisado: 07-19-24
a brilliant, staggering expose of what Parenyi he refers to as "gentleman's history," or history told by the victors, the powerful, the owners of capital. He sheds a light on the facts of Caesar's assassination, and how it was entirely tied to his efforts to improve the lives of the poor, the working class, the Forgotten and maligned of rome. Put aside what you think you know about this historical event and era, and open your mind to the idea that history may not be as objective and impartial, or that the practices, prejudices, and peccadillos of the era are in any way as irrelevant today, as we might think.
