The debonair Special Operations Executive agent Richard 'Dick' Mallaby was the first Briton to be sent to Italy as an SOE operative, parachuted unceremoniously into Lake Como in August 1943. Arrested and initially tortured by the Italian authorities, he managed to sweet-talk his way out of trouble, and helped Marshal Pietro Badoglio and King Victor Emmanuel III escape to the Allied lines. He also helped negotiate the armistice with Italy, for which he was awarded the Military Cross. He was back in action in 1945, when he crossed into Fascist-controlled northern Italy from Switzerland but was swiftly captured and interrogated by the SS. Narrowly avoiding a firing squad once again, he helped to secure the surrender of 800,000 German forces in Italy in May 1945.…

Brossura. Condizione: new. Siena, 2024; br., pp. 320, cm 14,5x21. Pochi sanno dove si è verificato il più grave disastro ferroviario della storia. È avvenuto in Italia, a Balvano, in provincia di Potenza, nelle prime ore del 3 marzo 1944. Più di 600 persone (uomini, donne, ma anche giovanissimi) morirono in maniera assurda e incredibile, all'interno di una galleria, avvelenati dal monossido di carbonio prodotto da due locomotive a vapore. Ma ancora più incredibile è la maniera nella quale questa tragedia, dai molti responsabili e nessun colpevole, sia stata ignorata dalle istituzioni e dalla storia, anche in conseguenza di maldestre versioni di comodo e ricostruzioni non adeguate. Inizialmente, censura militare e ragion di Stato congiurarono per un quasi completo insabbiamento della tragedia, ma la rimozione dalla memoria collettiva e dalla memorialistica storiografica, concretizzatasi nei decenni successivi fino ai nostri giorni, risulta davvero inspiegabile.
