Gli eventi che hanno preso forma dal 2020 a oggi sono le levatrici di un nuovo ordine mondiale i cui equilibri, sviluppi e confini sono ancora tutti da definire. Un work in progress che fa dell’Africa il tassello centrale del puzzle geopolitico in fieri. La Russia, dopo gli anni dell’abbandono seguiti allo sfacelo dell’impero sovietico, è tornata al lavoro per riconquistare posizioni che deteneva durante la guerra fredda, entrando in competizione con la Cina. Gli Stati Uniti faticano a seguire il cammino di un continente in rapida evoluzione mentre i Paesi europei (in particolare la Francia) pagano lo scotto di un passato coloniale che si perpetua fino ai nostri giorni grazie al sostegno artificioso a “governi fantoccio”. Intanto anche la Turchia ha fatto il suo ingresso in Africa in competizione con i Paesi arabi. In questo coacervo di interessi – materie prime, controllo geopolitico del territorio, basi militari, commercio – l’Africa prova a ritagliarsi un ruolo inedito, anche attraverso la nascita di un nuovo movimento di Paesi non allineati che rifiuta la richiesta del blocco occidentale di isolare la Russia sul piano internazionale ma che si ribella anche a Mosca che molto promette in termini di cooperazione e aiuti ma poco mantiene. Su tutto pesa l’incognita jihadista, che sta concentrando in Africa i suoi sforzi per la creazione del Califfato dopo il fallimento nell’area mediorientale. L’Africa oggi è un alleato prezioso che fa gola a troppi ma la decolonizzazione di facciata ha reso i leader più consapevoli delle potenzialità di popoli e risorse. E ormai nessuno si accontenta delle poche briciole lanciate astutamente dal tavolo dei Paesi ricchi.

The Dirty Dozen meets Band of Brothers in this true story of how a rusty old New Orleans banana boat staffed with an unlikely crew of international merchant seamen, a gang of inmates from a local jail, and a French harbor pilot spirited out of Morocco by O.S.S. agents in the trunk of a Chevy, were drafted into service in WWII -- and heroically succeeded in setting the stage for Patton's epic invasion of North Africa. The largest amphibious invasion force ever to cross the Atlantic Ocean set sail from Virginia for North Africa in November 1942. Operation Torch was the true beginning of the liberation of Europe since control of Northwestern Africa — Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia -- gave the Allies a base on the Mediterranean for the coming invasion of southern Europe. The prime objectives of the Moroccan invasion, headed by General George Patton, were the port city of Casablanca and an airfield 60 miles northeast of the city, which had the only concrete runways in the region. Unfortunately, the field was located a dozen miles up a shallow, twisting Moroccan river that wound its way down from the Atlas Mountains to the Atlantic. Patton needed five hundred tons of highly volatile airplane fuel and nine hundred tons of bombs delivered to that Moroccan airport to supply his planned air campaign against Casablanca, but he faced a major challenge: the river was too shallow for any available transport ship in the entire Allied fleet. As the clock ticked down on the invasion, the War Department searched every harbor and cove in the Atlantic and only at the last moment turned up the Contessa, a salt-caked, rust-stained Honduran-registered civilian freighter that had spent most of her undistinguished career hauling bananas and honeymooners from New Orleans to the river port harbors of the Caribbean. But at least she would be capable of hauling heavy cargo in shallow waters. Twelve Desperate Miles tells the incredible story of the Contessa’s role in the opening salvo of World War II. This unremarkable ship, crewed by seamen from twenty-six different nations and eighteen sailors pulled from the Norfolk County jail, became the focus of the first invasion of the war as it was rushed to Virginia at the insistence of George Patton and quickly retrofitted for war. Too late to join the safety of the massive convoy sailing for Africa, the Contessa set out on her own through the U-Boat-infested waters of the Atlantic to the shores of Morocco, where she faced her final and most daunting challenge: the twelve mile voyage up the shallow and well-defended Sebou River, carrying an explosive cocktail of gasoline and bombs in her holds. In Twelve Desperate Miles, veteran history writer Tim Brady chronicles one of the great untold stories of the war. This surprising and entertaining account of the baptism of American forces on the Western Front is a mix of Moroccan intrigue, portraits of some of the great figures of the war (Patton, Eisenhower, Marshall, General Lucian Truscott) at its outset, snapshots of the daily workings of the colorful crew of a merchant ship, along with a thrilling account of the invasion of French Morocco. Twelve Desperate Miles offers a unique and fascinating picture of the war in its opening moments.

Throughout Appalachia corporations control local economies and absentee ownership of land makes it difficult for communities to protect their waterways, mountains, and forests. Yet among all this uncertainty are committed citizens who have organized themselves to confront both external power holders and often their own local, state, and federal agents. Determined to make their voice heard and to improve their living conditions, newfound partnerships between community activists and faculty and students at community colleges and universities have formed to challenge powerful bureaucratic infrastructures and to protect local ecosystems and communities. Confronting Ecological Crisis: University and Community Partnerships in Appalachia and the South addresses a wide range of cases that have presented challenges to local environments, public health, and social justice faced by the people of this region. Editors Stephanie McSpirit, Lynne Faltraco, and Conner Bailey, along with community leaders and their university partners, describe stories of unlikely unions between faculty, students, and Appalachian communities in which both sides learn from one another and, most importantly, form a unique alliance in the fight against corporate control. Confronting Ecological Crisis is a comprehensive look at the citizens and organizations that have emerged to fight the continued destruction of Appalachia.

Che cos’è l’interesse nazionale per l’Italia e quali minacce emergono per il nostro Paese nello scenario internazionale in rapido mutamento? Da chi e da che cosa dobbiamo difenderci? Quanto conta l’intelligence, nazionale ed europea? Come può influire negli equilibri tra le potenze la guerra scoppiata in Ucraina e nella Striscia di Gaza? Quale ruolo può giocare l’Europa con Stati Uniti e Cina? Come si sta muovendo la Russia e cosa cambia sul fronte mediorientale dopo l’attacco di Hamas e la risposta armata israeliana? La nozione di Occidente ha ancora senso? E il Trattato del Nord Atlantico, o meglio la NATO, ricopre ancora una posizione di rilievo? Il presidente dell’ISPI, ed ex coordinatore dei servizi di intelligence italiani, Giampiero Massolo, analizza attori e mosse sullo scacchiere mondiale insieme a Francesco Bechis. E descrive con grande realismo e pragmaticità il paradosso italiano e il risiko contemporaneo tra crisi del passato e possibili minacce future. La «realpolitik» come metodo essenziale per comprendere il presente e il futuro della politica interna ed estera italiane, tra migrazioni storiche dall’Africa, crisi dell’Europa e nuovo ruolo nel Mediterraneo.
