Incredible accomplishment of how accessible Parenti makes the subjects without ever dumbing down ideas. The almost conversational prose helps a lot in the understandability.
I particularly liked the first chunk discussing Hitler/Mussolini's rise to power and how all of their attrocities tie back to economic gain.
