Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Gendarme of the Savoys is a gripping historical novel that dismantles the long-standing myth of Benito Mussolini as an absolute, unchallenged dictator. Set against thirty turbulent years of Italian history-from the regional taverns of Romagna to the bloody trenches of the Karst, through the rise of Fascism, the Italian Empire, and the horrors of World War II-the book reveals the dark collusion between the totalitarian regime and the Royal House of Savoy.Rather than portraying Mussolini as a lone conqueror, the novel exposes him as the modern era's ultimate mass motivator and an iron gendarme hired by a paranoid Savoy dynasty. Paralyzed by the terrifying execution of the Romanovs in Yekaterinburg and fearful of a Bolshevik revolution, King Victor Emmanuel III and his court aristocrats-represented by the fictional Count Giulio Maria della Gherardesca-use the blacksmith's son from Predappio as their media shield. They fund his rise, grant him institutional immunity, and hand him the keys to the State to protect their vast estates, private wealth, and the throne.The sweeping narrative counterpoints the cynical, behind-the-scenes dealings of royal emissaries and high-level politicians with the raw, tragic reality of ordinary working-class Italians, embodied by the Fabbri family. From the mud of the reclaimed Pontine Marshes to the frozen hell of the Russian Front, ordinary citizens pay the ultimate price for dynastic greed, state propaganda, and geopolitical posturing.The story reaches its climax on April 28, 1945, in the low-ceilinged bedroom of the De Maria farmhouse in Giulino di Mezzegra. Here, the brutal, unvarnished execution of Mussolini and Claretta Petacci exposes the immediate birth of the post-war 'official myth'-a necessary lie constructed to cover up immediate atrocities, protect surviving interests, and rewrite history.Key Themes- Institutional Collusion & Blackmail: The mutual dependency between the Monarchy and Fascism, where royal money and police cover fueled squadrist violence to protect dynastic wealth.- Propaganda & Identity Manipulation: The regime's aggressive drive to erase the image of the impoverished Italian peasant and enforce the rigid, synthetic myth of the Roman legionnaire.- The Hypocrisy of Global Powers: A critical look at the moral double standards of Western democracies, contrasting their condemnation of continental autocracies with their own history of colonial plunder, racial segregation, and global warfare.- The Human Cost of Opportunism: The tragic disparity between grand state rhetoric and the harsh, unglamorous survival of ordinary citizens caught in the gears of history.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Beyond the myths. Beyond the Crown. Only iron and blood remain.The American frontier was not built by dreamers or noble pioneers. It was forged by the castoffs of history-gallows fodder, prostitutes, thieves, and runaway indentured servants desperate enough to trade the grime of London for a new kind of prison.Set against the harsh, unyielding backdrop of the 17th century, KANAWHA: A Leap into the Unknown follows Jem and Meg, two souls bound together by the mud of the Thames and the violent death of a corrupt nobleman. Escaping the Tyburn noose on a forged parish pass, they are packed into the dark hold of the Cutter Conveyor and sold into brutal servitude on Silas Vance's Virginia tobacco plantation.When war erupts between the planters and the Powhatan Confederacy, Jem and Meg break their chains and plunge headlong into an untamed, uncharted continent. Carrying their newborn child into the primeval wilderness of the Appalachian Mountains, their fight for survival leads them straight into the territory of the powerful Cayuga Nation.Stripped of English law and pursued by ruthless bounty hunters, Jem must transform a stolen clearing pickaxe into a weapon of war. To earn a place in the land of the dark water, they must abandon everything they knew of the Old World and carve out a new lineage-one that no crown or master will ever own again.Written in a lean, evocative style akin to impressionist brushstrokes, KANAWHA delivers a sharp, visceral, and unvarnished chronicle of raw human resilience on the early American frontier.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Setting & Plot: Two years have passed since the events of the first novel. Jem, Meg, and their two-year-old child are relentlessly hunted through the rugged Appalachian gorges by a mercenary commando dispatched from London by the House of Greystoke, led by the ruthless Captain Nicholas Thorne and the calculating inquisitor Gideon Cole.Near the Cayuga palisade, the mercenaries are ambushed and captured by native warriors. Weathered by the freezing wilderness, with dark skin, long hair, and buckskin attire, Jem seamlessly blends in among the Cayuga. To permanently put an end to the hunt and prevent the House of Greystoke from appealing to the British Crown to deploy regular 'Redcoats' into the mountains, Jem and the Cayuga Chief Kaelen execute a clever deception: - They exhibit Jem's original logging pickaxe as a trophy recovered in the woods;- They lead Thorne and Cole to three old, frozen graves in a desolate canyon;- They claim that Jem and Meg perished during the mountain crossing and that the child was killed by a cougar.Fooled by the ruse, Thorne and Cole return to the coast as unwitting messengers of the fugitives' deaths. With all searches officially called off in London, Jem, Meg, and their child are finally free, setting off toward the uncharted Northern Great Lakes.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Set in the post-WWII era across the Agro Pontino, this novel follows the saga of the Giardone family and its central figure, Antonio-the 'human mole'-a man forged in black poverty and hardened by excavating water wells. From a corrugated iron shack to claiming a fifteen-hundred-square-foot tuff-stone house, the story blends the ruthless chronicle of rural land reclamation with social redemption, the struggle against the moral poverty of freeloading relatives, and the devastating price paid in health and family relationships. A raw, unvarnished family epic that turns a deeply local story into a universal tragedy of survival, sweat, and perseverance.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - IN THE AGRO PONTINO, DIRT IS PAID FOR IN BLOOD.When Gennaro dies, leaving behind two hectares of land, a crumbling shack, and his defenseless widow Nunziata, the vultures don't wait for the body to grow cold. On one side of the rusty wire fence stand the Trogloditici-a primitive, rage-filled clan ready to dig up their buried cash savings to wage a relentless legal war. On the other side arrive the usurpers from Valiano, backed by Zante-the Stump-a brute of pure violence and insatiable lust who installs himself on the property like a concrete post.What follows is an uncompromising, visceral tale of boundary wars, extorted signatures, shameless betrayals, and family corruption. From clandestine trysts in high-end sports cars to the dark closets where old women are left to rot, every inch of land is fought over with hoes, forged papers, and blood.Spanning decades of cold calculation and rural squalor, TROGLODYTE BREED is a ruthless, dark, and unrelenting country noir where Italian bureaucracy, raw violence, and dirty money collapse into the concrete of progress.For fans of hardboiled crime, gritty family feuds, and uncompromising noir.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Saga de una familia entre dos mundosSinopsis: En los albores del siglo XX, dejar la propia tierra no era una eleccion, era un acto de guerra contra la miseria. Luigi, un hombre forjado por la disciplina militar y endurecido por las derrotas en Africa, abandona las colinas de Moiano con una unica mision: doblegar al destino en las indomitas montanas de West Virginia.Pero America no regala nada. Entre el sudor de los astilleros ferroviarios de Davis y el estruendo del hierro, Luigi y los obreros italianos se ven atrapados en una red de sombras mas letal que el trabajo mismo. La Mano Nera, la Mafia Irlandesa y la corrupcion de los "cuellos blancos" se han repartido el botin de la Mid-Atlantic Railways, marcando a fuego la piel de los inmigrantes.En este escenario de extorsion y sabotaje, surge la figura del detective Hayes, un hombre cinico pero con su propio codigo de honor, que junto al sheriff Big Tom Walford intentara desmantelar un imperio construido sobre el pizzo y la sangre.No es solo una novela historica; es la cronica brutal de una estirpe, los Icolaro, condenada a atraer todas las tormentas del mundo. Es una historia de amores sacrificados por la supervivencia, de traiciones que se pagan con plomo y de esa pregunta que el destino, con una sonrisa amarga, reserva para los que intentan escapar de su red: "Pero a donde carajo creias que ibas?"

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Título: El gendarme de los Saboya: Benito Mussolini, el doble del ReyAutor: Max ColaroUna provocadora e implacable revisión de la historia que desmonta el mito de Benito Mussolini como un dictador absoluto e incontestable. A lo largo de tres décadas convulsas -desde las tabernas de Romaña hasta las trincheras del Carso, la bonificación del Agro Pontino y el desastre de la Segunda Guerra Mundial-, este relato saca a la luz la oscura complicidad entre el régimen fascista y la Corona italiana.Aterrorizada por la ejecución de los Románov y el miedo a la revolución bolchevique, la dinastía Saboya no duda en financiar y respaldar al hijo del herrero de Predappio, utilizándolo como escudo mediático y gendarme de hierro para blindar sus grandes propiedades y la continuidad del trono. Frente al cinismo de los salones romanos se alza la tragedia de los Fabbri, una familia de colonos que pagará con sangre y fango el precio de las promesas de la propaganda. Una obra cruda y directa que expone la verdad sin adornos: la historia escrita por los vencedores no es más que una fábrica de mentiras.…
