Trip Gabriel reports:
Infuriated in the 1960s by American involvement in the Vietnam War, Dr. Parenti moved ever leftward.
He was convicted of striking a state trooper at an antiwar protest in 1970, and he ran unsuccessfully for Congress in Vermont in 1974 on the same third-party socialist ticket as Bernie Sanders (in Mr. Sanders’s first bid for the U.S. Senate, an unsuccessful one).
By the 1980s and ’90s, when Dr. Parenti’s influence arguably reached its apogee, his books were read alongside those of Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn, two better known (and better selling) left-wing authors.
