The kidnapping of Aldo Moro lasted 55 days, from March 16, 1978, the day of the ambush in Fani street, to the following May 9, when the body of the president of the Christian Democratic Party was found in Caetani street. But if the most famous kidnapping in the history of Italy ended tragically in less than two months, the political-judicial case that followed has been going on for decades. The Aldo Moro affaire, in fact, represents the darkest point in Italian republican history. This is a story in which everyone got their hands dirty: terrorists, politicians, journalists, law enforcement, secret services, the Vatican, governments, international spies, military from different countries. Telling the Aldo Moro affaire means trying to reassemble a mosaic made up of billions of pieces, with the certainty of having many artifact pieces in our hands. Even after years of studying papers, parliamentary commissions, precise reconstructions, detailed analyzes and comparisons of all kinds, one has the sensation that one feels in front of a broken or chipped mirror: there is always something wrong, there is always something out of place. Here then is that the case of the kidnapping and killing of Aldo Moro and in his bodyguards remains a very open case that divides historians, journalists and politicians, all in search of truth, a truth hidden from forty years of lies.

On March 16, 1978 Aldo Moro, former Italian Prime Minister, was ambushed in Rome. Within three minutes the gang killed all five members of his escort and bundled Moro into one of three getaway cars. An hour later the Red Brigades announced that Moro was in their hands; on March 18 they said he would be tried in a 'people's court of justice'. Seven weeks later Moro's body was discovered in the boot of a Renault parked in the crowded centre of Rome. In The Moro Affair, Leonardo Sciascia - a master of detective fiction - untangles the real-life events of these crucial weeks and provides a unique insight into the dangerous world of Italian politics in the 1970s.

Aldo Moro's kidnapping and violent death in 1978 had much the same effect in Italy as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy had in the U.S., with both cases giving rise to endless conspiracy theories. Drake provides a detailed portrait of the tragedy and its aftermath as complex symbols of a turbulent age in Italian history.

On March 16, 1978, the former prime minister of Italy, Aldo Moro, was kidnapped by the Red Brigades, and what followed—the fifty-five days of captivity that resulted in Moro's murder—constitutes one of the most striking social dramas of the twentieth century. In this compelling study of terrorism, Robin Wagner-Pacifici employs methods from sociology, symbolic anthropology, and literary criticism to decode the many social "texts" that shaped the event: political speeches, newspaper reports, television and radio news, editorials, photographs, Moro's letters, Red Brigade communiques, and appeals by various international figures. The analysis of these "texts" calls into question the function of politics, social drama, spectacle, and theater. Wagner-Pacifici provides a dramaturgic analysis of the Moro affair as a method for discussing the culture of politics in Italy.

District Attorney Varga is shot dead. Then Judge Sanza is killed. Then Judge Azar. Are these random murders, or part of a conspiracy? Inspector Rogas thinks he might know, but as soon as he makes progress he is transferred and encouraged to pin the crimes on the Left. And yet how committed are the cynical, fashionable, comfortable revolutionaries to revolution—or anything? Who is doing what to whom? Equal Danger is set in an imaginary country, one that seems all too real. It is the most extreme—and gripping—depiction of the politics of paranoia by Leonardo Sciascia, master of the metaphysical detective novel.

"Aldo Moro (Italian pronunciation: [aldo m?ro]; September 23, 1916 ? May 9, 1978) was an Italian politician and the 39th Prime Minister of Italy, from 1963 to 1968, and then from 1974 to 1976. He was one of Italy's longest-serving post-war Prime Ministers, holding power for a combined total of more than six years. A leader of Democrazia Cristiana (Christian Democracy, DC), Moro was considered an intellectual and a patient mediator, especially in the internal life of his party. He was kidnapped on March 16, 1978, by the Red Brigades (BR), a Marxist-Leninist terrorist organization, and killed after 55 days of captivity."--Wikipedia.
