Chi sono gli uomini che hanno combattuto in prima fila il terrorismo negli anni di piombo? Chi sono gli uomini che agli ordini del generale Carlo Alberto dalla Chiesa hanno indagato, rischiato, vissuto come clandestini, servito il Paese e la democrazia, per essere dimenticati dopo l'uccisione del loro comandante passato a combattere la mafia? Questo audiolibro racconta per la prima volta la lotta al terrorismo attraverso la voce dei protagonisti che sostennero il peso di un impegno senza limiti. Ne nasce una storia sincera, per molti aspetti nuova, che smonta sospetti.

After his retirement from the Marine Corps in the early 1930s, General Smedley D. Butler embarked on a national lecture tour, where he gave his speech about how commercial interests benefit from war. The speech was well received and he wrote an expanded version of it, which was published as War Is A Racket. The work was published by Reader's Digest as a condensed book supplement, which added to its popularity.

Smedley D. Butler (1881–1940), the most decorated officer in U.S. military history, including two Medals of Honor, wrote a searing critique in War is a Racket. Drawing from his service in conflicts from the Spanish-American War to World War I, he exposed how wars enriched corporations, bankers, and industrialists while soldiers and civilians bore the devastating costs. With unflinching candor, Butler revealed the profiteering motives behind global conflicts, delivering a timeless call for peace.
