“They killed Mario Calabresi’s policeman father when he wasonly two years old, and growing up he found in this tragedy theforce to write. In trying to understand his own grief, hecomprehends the grief of an entire country.”—Roberto Saviano,author of Gomorrah
“With a remarkably beautiful translation into English by MichaelF. Moore, Calabresi weaves back and forth between the 1970s and thepresent day, illustrating the lack of justice for Italy's criminalsand the falsehoods in the national consciousness surrounding thedeath of his father. To debunk the claims made by leftists that hisfather was guilty of a crime, Calabresi carefully andscientifically has many experts recreate the events of the death ofGiusseppe Pinelli, leading to the solid conclusion that LuigiCalabresi is innocent of all wrongdoing…What I appreciate so muchabout this work is Calabresi’s ability to create such rich emotionwhile retaining his own values and morals.”—Stephen Robert Morse,Mother Jones
“Fair and deeply moving.”—Le Monde
"Mario Calabresi has written, for all the victims, a worthybook.”—Télérama
“Sincere without being vindictive, Mario Calabresi . . .struggles against ignorance and conformity.”—Nouvel Observateur
