In 2003 The New Press published Parenti's The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome.[15] PW said, "Parenti... narrates a provocative history of the late republic in Rome (100–33 B.C.) to demonstrate that Caesar's death was the culmination of growing class conflict, economic disparity and political corruption."[16] Kirkus Reviews wrote: "Populist historian Parenti... views ancient Rome’s most famous assassination not as a tyrannicide but as a sanguinary scene in the never-ending drama of class warfare."[15] Kirkus described the book as "revisionist history at its most provocative."[15] Political Affairs wrote: "This is an excellent book and a good read." Apart from several recordings of some of his public speeches, Parenti has also appeared in the 1992 documentary Panama Deception, the 2004 Liberty Bound and 2013 Fall and Winter documentaries as an author and social commentator. In addition, he was interviewed for two episodes of the Showtime series Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, speaking briefly about the Dalai Lama (Episode 305 – Holier Than Thou) and patriotism (Episode 508 – Mount Rushmore). Parenti was interviewed in Boris Malagurski's documentary film The Weight of Chains 2 (2014). Books: The Anti-Communist Impulse (Random House, 1970).
