The explosive story of the terrorist group who brought Italy to a standstill in the 1970s.
In March 1978, the Red Brigades shocked the world by kidnapping former Italian prime minister Aldo Moro in the heart of Rome. They held him hostage for fifty-five days before killing him and dumping his body in the boot of a car. But who were they? And what did they want?
In this gripping and explosive book, John Foot casts new light on the shadowy world of the Red Brigades, revealing how they became the most formidable left-wing terrorist organisation in post-war Western Europe. Through a campaign of murder, kidnap and intimidation, they brought Italy’s justice system to its knees and shook the nation’s political foundations – leaving behind a legacy of conspiracy and distrust that still lingers today.
