Excellent Cadavers (a term used in Sicily to distinguish the assassination of prominent government officials from the hundreds of common criminals killed in the course of routine mafia business) tells of the remarkable investigation spearheaded by Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the two Sicilian prosecutors who in the 1980s took the war against the Mafia further than anyone had ever dared. In 1992, aware that the two magistrates were without the complete support of the Italian government, the Mafia assassinated them. In death they were hailed as national heroes; the massive public outcry demanded their investigations be completed. The outcome: the toppling of crucial alliances that had forged political rule in Italy since WWII and the criminal indictment of Italy's most prominent leaders.

On 23 May 1992 the Mafia assassinated its 'Number One Enemy', the legendary prosecutor Judge Falcone, with a motorway bomb that also killed his wife Francesca and three bodyguards. Fifty-seven days later, the Mafia killed Falcone's friend and colleague, Judge Paolo Borsellino, with a car bomb outside his mother's home that also killed five bodyguards. These two murders changed forever how Italy viewed the Mafia. VENDETTA tells the inside story of the assassination plots and the investigation that followed. Follain reveals Borsellino's desperate race against time to find out who killed his friend while knowing he was next on the list and reveals the daring undercover police mission which unmasked the killers. Based on new and exclusive interviews and the testimony of investigators, Mafia supergrasses, survivors, relatives and friends, VENDETTA recounts the events hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute as the Mafiosi plan and carry out the murders, and as the police hunt them down.

In 1992 Italy was convulsed by two brazen Mafia assassinations of high-ranking officials. The latest "excellent cadavers" were Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the Sicilian magistrates who had been the Cosa Nostra's most implacable enemies. Yet in the aftermath of the murders, hundreds of "men of honor" were arrested and the government that ad protected them for nearly half a century was at last driven from office. This is the story that Stille tells with such insight and immediacy in Excellent Cadavers. Combining a profound understanding of his doomed heroes with and unprecedented look into the Mafia's stringent codes and murderous rivalries, he gives us a book that has the power of a great work of history and the suspense of a true thriller. "Riveting...a well-paced and highly informative account stocked with well-drawn characters."--Philadelphia Inquirer "Masterful...[Stille] delivers a stiletto-sharp portrait of the bloodthirsty Sicilian mafia."--Business Week "From the Trade Paperback edition.

Giovanni Falcone e Paolo Borsellino hanno pagato con la vita il loro coraggioso e straordinario impegno rivolto a sradicare quel sistema criminale chiamato Cosa Nostra fortemente colluso con certi settori della politica, con poteri occulti e con parti deviate delle istituzioni. Disse Falcone prima di morire: “Fino ad ora abbiamo lavorato per costruire una stanza pulita… Purtroppo ci siamo accorti che serve poco a lavorare alle pulizie di una sola stanza se ci sono passaggi che portano ad altre stanze sudice, scale segrete che salgono su…” Falcone e Borsellino sono stati “fermati” mentre si accingevano ad entrare in quelle stanze sudice e a salire certe scale segrete.

'An enjoyable, highly readable history that manages to bring murky, often fiendishly complex events into the light' Sunday Times Italy emerged from the Second World War in ruins. Divided, invaded and economically broken, it was a nation that some people claimed had ceased to exist. And yet, as rural society disappeared almost overnight, by the 1960s, it could boast the fastest-growing economy in the world. In The Archipelago, historian John Foot chronicles Italy's tumultuous history from the post-war period to the present day. From the silent assimilation of fascists into society after 1945 to the artistic peak of neorealist cinema, he examines both the corrupt and celebrated sides of the country. While often portrayed as a failed state on the margins of Europe, Italy has instead been at the centre of innovation and change – a political laboratory. This new history tells the fascinating story of a country always marked by scandal but with the constant ability to re-invent itself. Comprising original research and lively insights, The Archipelago chronicles the crises and modernisations of more than seventy years of post-war Italy, from its fields, factories, squares and housing estates to Rome's political intrigue.

La realtà che abbiamo vissuto e sofferto con Giovanni e Paolo racconta che, diversamente da quanto si ripete nelle cerimonie ufficiali, il male di mafia non è affatto solo fuori di noi, è anche 'tra noi'. Racconta che gli assassini e i loro complici non hanno solo i volti truci e crudeli di coloro che sulla scena dei delitti si sono sporcati le mani di sangue, ma anche i volti di tanti, di troppi sepolcri imbiancati. Un popolo di colletti bianchi che hanno frequentato le nostre stesse scuole e che affollano i migliori salotti: presidenti del Consiglio, ministri, parlamentari nazionali e regionali, presidenti della Regione siciliana, vertici dei servizi segreti e della polizia, alti magistrati, avvocati di grido dalle parcelle d'oro, personaggi apicali dell'economia e della finanza e molti altri. Tutte responsabilità penali certificate da sentenze definitive, costate lacrime e sangue, e tuttavia rimosse da una retorica pubblica e da un sistema dei media che, tranne poche eccezioni, illuminano a viva luce solo la faccia del pianeta mafioso abitata dalla mafia popolare, quella del racket e degli stupefacenti, elevando una parte a simbolo del tutto. (Dalla prefazione di Roberto Scarpinato) In questo libro gli interventi, le interviste, le parole di Giovanni Falcone (1939-1992) e Paolo Borsellino (1940-1992), due servitori dello Stato, a vent'anni dalla loro morte. Un omaggio doveroso e un necessario ritorno alle fonti, a ciò che veramente hanno detto e scritto, ora che stanno venendo alla luce quelle verità per le quali entrambi hanno sacrificato la vita.

Forget the sunshine and pasta image of Italy, and discover a world of dark forces that conspire to undermine a vulnerable democracy. Following their defeat in World War Two, the Italians set about restoring their shattered country to create the ‘economic miracle’ of the ’60s and establish a democratic republic. Yet all is not well. The ‘hot autumn’ crisis of 1969 unleashes deep-rooted protests from workers and students dissatisfied with the status quo. Events are further compounded by Fascist plots pitted against left wing terrorist attacks, all conspiring to bring down a fragile state. A state destabilized by self-serving politicians, intent on feathering their own nests at the citizens’ expense. If you love intrigue, conspiracy and double-dealing, this book is for you.

COSA NOSTRA is the compelling story of the Sicilian mafia, the world's most famous, most secretive and most misunderstood criminal fraternity. The mafia has been given many names since it was founded one hundred and forty years ago: the Sect, the Brotherhood, the Honoured Society, and now Cosa Nostra. Yet as times have changed, the mafia's subtle and bloody methods have remained the same. Now, for the first time, COSA NOSTRA reconstructs the complete history of the Sicilian mafia from its origins to the present day, from the lemon groves and sulphur mines of Sicily, to the streets of Manhattan. COSA NOSTRA is a definitive history, rich in atmosphere, and with the narrative pace of the best detective fiction, and has been updated to make it the most vital contemporary account of the mafia ever published. The mob genre has finally grown up.
