Parenti's analysis of Stalin in Blackshirts and Reds is the weakest part of an otherwise excellent book. I can't really fault him as at the time of writing, the Soviet archives had not yet been analyzed in their entirety. For a better analysis that focuses specifically on Stalin, read Domenico Losurdo's Stalin: The History and Critique of a Black Legend.
I've heard that mentioned a few times -- definitely on the list.
