As president of the Italian Liberal Party, Benedetto Croce was one of the most influential intellectuals involved in Italian public affairs after the fall of Mussolini. Placing Croce at the centre of historical events between 1943 and 1952, this book details his participation in Italy's political life, and his major contributions to the rebirth of Italian democracy. Drawing on a great amount of primary material, including Croce's political speeches, correspondences, diaries, and official documents from post-war Italy, this book illuminates the dynamic and progressive nature of Croce's liberalism and the shortcomings of the old Liberal leaders. Providing a year-by-year account of Croce's initiatives, author Fabio Fernando Rizi fills the gap in Croce's biography, covering aspects of his public life often neglected, misinterpreted, or altogether ignored, and restores his standing among the founding fathers of modern Italy.

In the brutal fight that has raged in recent years over the reputation of Pope Pius XII_leader of the Catholic Church during World War II, the Holocaust, and the early years of the Cold War_the task of defending the Pope has fallen primarily to reviewers. These reviewers formulated a brilliant response to the attack on Pius, but their work was scattered in various newspapers, magazines, and scholarly journals_making it nearly impossible for the average reader to gauge the results. In The Pius War, Weekly Standard's Joseph Bottum has joined with Rabbi David G. Dalin to gather a representative and powerful sample of these reviews, deliberately chosen from a wide range of publications. Together with a team of professors, historians, and other experts, the reviewers conclusively investigate the claims attacking Pius XII. The Pius War, and a detailed annotated bibliography that follows, will prove to be a definitive tool for scholars and students_destined to become a major resource for anyone interested in questions of Catholicism, the Holocaust, and World War II.

Discloses the richness of ideas and sheds light on the controversy that characterized the transition from fascism to democracy, examining authors, works and memories that were subsequently silenced by Cold War politics. How a shared memory of Fascism and its cultural heritage took shape is still today the most disputed question of modern Italy, crossing the boundaries between academic and public discourse. Against Redemption concentrates on the historical period in which disagreement was at its highest: the transition between the downfall of Mussolini in July 1943 and the victory of the Christian Democrats over the Left in the 1948 general elections. By dispelling the silence around the range of opinion in the years before the ideological struggle fossilized into Cold War oppositions, this book points to early postwar literary practices as the main vehicle for intellectual dissent, shedding new light on the role of cultural policies in institutionalizing collective memory. During Italy’s transition to democracy competing narratives over the recent traumatic past emerged and crystallized, depicting the country’s break with Mussolini’s regime as a political and personal redemption from its politics of exclusion and unrestrained use of violence. Conversely, outstanding authors such as Elsa Morante, Carlo Levi, Alberto Moravia and Curzio Malaparte, in close dialogue with remarkable but now neglected figures, stressed the cultural continuity between the new democracy and Fascism, igniting heated debates from opposite political standpoints. Their works addressed questions such as the working through of national defeat, Italian responsibility in WWII and the Holocaust, revealing how the social, racial, and gender biases that characterized Fascism survived after its demise and haunted the new born democracy.

Questa non è solo storia degli ebrei e dei loro persecutori a Roma, dall8 settembre 1943 al 5 giugno 1944. È storia di un mondo: i collaboratori dei nazisti, i testimoni silenziosi, gli spaventati, i coraggiosi, la Chiesa. Ai tempi in cui Roma è città aperta e alla mercé dei tedeschi, tra le mura e i vicoli della città si consuma una guerra di fuggiaschi e nascondigli. È una guerra nascosta e cruenta che porta i civili in prima linea: cittadini, uomini e donne di Chiesa, Pio XII in persona. Né potrebbe essere diversamente visto che Roma, di fatto e per comune sentire, non è più la capitale delleffimero regime fascista della Repubblica sociale ma in tutto e per tutto la città del papa. E come lui caso unico e significativo di ‘resistenza alla guerra non combatte loccupazione ma nemmeno cede; resiste, si impegna a sopravvivere, aiuta i ricercati a nascondersi. Gli occupanti tedeschi lo avvertono e impongono il regime duro. In una Roma assediata dove le croci uncinate sostano sotto le finestre del papa, i nazisti catturano quasi duemila ebrei; muoiono nei campi di concentramento, alle Fosse Ardeatine. Allincirca diecimila, invece, sopravvivono nascondendosi in case private, nei conventi e nelle parrocchie, negli ospedali, nelle istituzioni e nei territori della Santa Sede. Taluni di quelli che sono venuti in aiuto ai perseguitati sono stati riconosciuti come ‘giusti. Di molti la maggioranza si è persa ogni traccia. Lungo queste pagine Andrea Riccardi richiama dalloblio la storia di uomini e donne comuni che, quando il male ha bussato alle loro porte, hanno mostrato un grande coraggio, hanno condotto una vita fuori dellordinario e sono poi tornati, semplicemente, a quella di ogni giorno.

Sale sulle labbra, profumo di lavanda nelle narici e negli occhi il mare blu della Provenza: cosa volere di piú? Godersi il momento presente sembra facile, eppure è difficilissimo per Madame le commissaire, anche se, da quando si è trasferita dall’Antiterrorismo della capitale nel dipartimento del Var, ha fatto molti passi avanti. Tanti che, il giorno in cui si trova a visitare insieme all’amica Jacqueline i famosi giardini botanici del Domaine du Rayol, riesce addirittura a bearsi della piacevole sensazione dello scorrere del tempo senza pensare al lavoro. Peccato che ben presto sia il lavoro a riagguantarla: perché sugli scogli rossastri poco sotto di loro giace, immobile, il corpo di una donna, anzi, a giudicare dagli abiti, di una suora. La giovane, il bel viso macchiato di sangue, è morta per la caduta. È scivolata andando in cerca di rare erbe medicinali, come dicono tutti, o forse bisogna ipotizzare qualcosa d’altro, di piú oscuro e inquietante? Anche se il caso non è di sua pertinenza, Madame le commissaire comincia a nutrire piú di un sospetto. Le apparenze ingannano, e forse le conclusioni cui è giunta la polizia – un malaugurato incidente – sono un po’ affrettate. La sua indagine non autorizzata la condurrà in un vero e proprio pellegrinaggio fra i conventi e i monasteri del sud della Francia, perché non ci si può certo aspettare che le suore possiedano uno strumento tanto demoniaco come il telefono... Ma chi, in un luogo cosí sacro, arriverebbe davvero al punto di uccidere? In questa nuova avventura di Isabelle Bonnet e del suo stravagante assistente Jacobert Apollinaire Eustache – la quinta –, Pierre Martin unisce ancora una volta con maestria e leggerezza le idilliache atmosfere provenzali agli entusiasmanti colpi di scena di un thriller. «L’unica spiegazione che mi viene in mente è piuttosto semplice: la nostra suora viene da un convento isolato dal mondo dove non si leggono i giornali, non si ascolta la radio, non si guarda la televisione». Apollinaire si grattò la testa con la matita. «Capisco. Sí, questo spiegherebbe tutto. E non viene ritenuta scomparsa perché forse era in vacanza». La guardò con aria interrogativa. «O le suore non vanno in vacanza?» «Una lettura affascinante e irresistibile» Buchmarkt «Un thriller perfetto, pieno del fascino della Francia meridionale, vivace e divertente» Mannheimer Morgen «Il nuovo Pierre Martin stuzzica per il profumo di lavanda, il mare e il sole» Camberger Anzeiger «Un thriller spassoso, dal ritmo rapido e spontaneo» Kriminetz.de

Un mese dopo la liberazione di Roma, il generale Alexander, capo delle Forze Alleate in Italia, inviò una lettera privata alla marchesa Amalia di Montezemolo, moglie del colonnello Giuseppe Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo, esprimendole profonda ammirazione e gratitudine per l'opera del marito. Chi era questo nobile piemontese, ufficiale dello Stato Maggiore dell'Esercito, segretario particolare di Badoglio dopo il 25 luglio 1943, e quale ruolo svolse il Fronte Militare Clandestino di Roma da lui guidato nella guerra contro i tedeschi? Militare di carriera, monarchico convinto, anticomunista ma in ottimi rapporti con Giorgio Amendola, trait d'union fra i partiti del Cln e il Governo del Sud, Montezemolo fu il capo della resistenza militare a Roma e nel resto d'Italia, organizzò migliaia di ufficiali e soldati allo sbando dopo l'8 settembre, procurò finanziamenti e fornì un prezioso lavoro di intelligence per gli Alleati. La sua vicenda, tragica ed eroica, costituisce un esempio significativo sotto diversi aspetti di come la storiografia abbia per troppo tempo oscurato o sottovalutato personaggi e movimenti della Resistenza di matrice moderata. Colmando tale lacuna, questo saggio ricostruisce la vita di Montezemolo attraverso un certosino lavoro di ricerca negli archivi dello Stato Maggiore dell'Esercito, interviste a vari testimoni dell'epoca, l'analisi di centinaia di documenti, saggi e libri di memoria, e la consultazione degli archivi familiari. Così, nella storia di questo partigiano con le stelline - volontario nella Grande Guerra e nella Guerra di Spagna, militare integerrimo che alla fine ripudiò il fascismo e morì alle Fosse Ardeatine gridando Viva l'Italia! Viva il Re! - si contempera l'efficace ritratto storico di un Paese illuso dal Ventennio con la commovente storia familiare di un padre, marito e patriota. A corredo del racconto, alcuni documenti e un apparato iconografico di fotografie del personaggio e dei familiari.

Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII, is one of the most studied but least understood popes of the twentieth century while his pontificate remains the most turbulent and controversial. Although there is a general consensus that he faced serious problems during his tenure--fascist aggression, the Second World War, the Nazi genocide of the Jews, the march of communism, and the Cold War--there is disagreement on his response to these developments. Applauded by some as an "apostle for peace" for his attempt to prevent the outbreak of war, he has been denounced by others as an "advocate of appeasement" for this same effort. Praised by both Christian and Jews for his "Crusade of Charity" during the war, he was denounced by many for his "silence" during the Holocaust. These conflicting interpretations, dubbed the Pius Wars, are often narrow in focus, lack objectivity, and have shed more heat than light. Written by one of the foremost historians of Pius XII, the present biographical study, unlike the greater part of the vast and growing historiography of Pope Pius XII, is a balanced and nonreactive account of his life and times. Its focus is not on the pope's silence during the Holocaust, though it does address the issue in a historical and objective framework. This is a biography of the man as well as the pope. It probes the roots of his traditionalism and legalism, his approach to modernity and reformism in Church and society, and the influences behind his policies and actions. This book is the first biography of Eugenio Pacelli to appear in English since the opening of the papers of the pontificate of Pius XI (1922-1939), in which Pacelli served as nuncio to Germany and secretary of state, along with the publication of the memories of figures close to Papa Pacelli. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Frank J. Coppa is the first recipient of the Lifetime Distinguished Scholarship Award of the American Catholic Historical Association and professor of history and the director of doctoral studies in modern world history at St. John's University. He has published widely in the areas of modern Europe, modern Italy, and papal history. His more recent works include The Papacy, the Jews, and the Holocaust; Politics and Papacy in the Modern World; The Policies and Politics of Pope Pius XII; Controversial Concordats: The Vatican's Relations with Napoleon, Mussolini, and Hitler; and the Encyclopedia of Modern Dictators. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK: "This book adds a great deal to what we currently know about this most written about pope. Frank Coppa introduces a number of principles which need to be discussed by experts and also by biographers of this pope, most importantly the concepts of papal impartiality and anti-Judaism as related to Pope Pius XII."--Charles R. Gallagher, S.J., assistant professor of history, Boston College "This is a balanced and highly nuanced biography of Eugenio Pacelli that examines the whole life and times of the man. Frank Coppa has examined the considerable, publicly available, historical record on Pacelli, placed the war years and the Holocaust in the broader scope of Pius XII's life, and brought much needed attention to the oft-neglected pre-1939 and post-1945 years of this complex, enigmatic and intriguing man."--Paul O'Shea, co-director of the Australian Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Sydney "These books approach the wartime pontiff with such a clear mastery of the arguments that both Pius's supporters and his denigrators will find it difficult in the future to expect any serious student to accept the hoary myths that have clouded or exalted that pontiff's reputation . . . Coppa opens both books with the statement that Pius is the most studied but least understood of modern pontiffs. His books will go a long way toward changing that perception." --The Catholic Historical Review "A refreshingly balance
