C'è stato un tempo in cui, nella Sicilia lacerata da una furiosa guerra di mafia, si fecero largo gruppi di picciotti senza regole e senza padroni, che si misero in testa di arricchirsi con le rapine e con le estorsioni. Presto vennero coinvolti nelle faide tra vecchi e nuovi boss di Cosa nostra e si trasformarono in killer spietati. Li chiamavano stiddari. Tra la fine degli anni Ottanta e gli inizi dei Novanta seminarono il terrore nelle province di Agrigento, Caltanissetta, Enna, Ragusa e Trapani.

Chi sono gli uomini che hanno combattuto in prima fila il terrorismo negli anni di piombo? Chi sono gli uomini che agli ordini del generale Carlo Alberto dalla Chiesa hanno indagato, rischiato, vissuto come clandestini, servito il Paese e la democrazia, per essere dimenticati dopo l'uccisione del loro comandante passato a combattere la mafia? Questo audiolibro racconta per la prima volta la lotta al terrorismo attraverso la voce dei protagonisti che sostennero il peso di un impegno senza limiti. Ne nasce una storia sincera, per molti aspetti nuova, che smonta sospetti.

Uno degli eventi più traumatici nella storia del nostro paese è riletto qui non come un complotto politico-criminale ma come "tragedia" morale e drammatico passaggio politico. L'audiolibro ricostruisce il modo in cui governo e partiti affrontarono i dilemmi posti dal sequestro Moro: le alternative della trattativa e della fermezza, il rapporto con le Brigate rosse, la ricerca di possibili mediazioni, il ruolo della Chiesa, i rapporti fra maggioranza e opposizione.

Gli attacchi terroristici che negli ultimi anni hanno portato la paura in Occidente (e non solo) ci obbligano a convivere con una violenza spesso difficile da comprendere. Le televisioni e i giornali ci inondano di immagini traumatiche, la morte è diventata una notizia quotidiana, distribuita alla cieca tra gente comune: allo stadio, nei teatri, al bar, in aeroporto. Un'intera generazione sta crescendo con il timore di non essere al sicuro, e con molte domande che non trovano risposta. Come aiutare i nostri figli a liberarsi dalla paura?

Er nannte sich Murat Cem. Doch in den Akten heißt er nur VP01. Unter welchem Namen er heute lebt, ist ebenso geheim wie sein Aufenthaltsort. Der Mann, der lange Zeit der wohl beste und wichtigste V-Mann Deutschlands war, blieb stets ein Phantom. Bis es den SPIEGEL-Reportern Jörg Diehl, Roman Lehberger und Fidelius Schmid gelang, ihn zu treffen, fast ein Jahr lang zu begleiten und seine unfassbare Lebensgeschichte aufzuschreiben. Im verdeckten Einsatz für die Polizei überführte Murat Cem nicht nur Drogen- und Waffenhändler.

Les jeunes sont une proie privilégiée pour la peur qui s'est installée au cœur de l'Europe, et en France en particulier, depuis les derniers attentats djihadistes. Comment les aider à s'en libérer ?

As one of al-Qaeda's most respected bomb-makers, Aimen Dean rubbed shoulders with the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks and swore allegiance to Osama bin Laden himself. As a double agent at the heart of al-Qaeda's chemical weapons program, he foiled attacks on civilians and saved countless lives, brushing with death so often that his handlers began to call him their spy with nine lives. This is the story of how a young Muslim, determined to defend his faith, found himself fighting on the wrong side - and his fateful decision to work undercover for his sworn enemy.

Kevin Fulton was one of the British Army's most successful intelligence agents. Having been recruited to infiltrate the Provisional IRA at the height of the Troubles, he rose its ranks to an unprecedented level. Living and working undercover, he had no option other than to take part in heinous criminal activities, including the production of bombs which he knew would later kill. So highly was he valued by IRA leaders that he was promoted to serve in its infamous internal police - ironically, his job was now to root out and kill informers.

What do the attacks in London Bridge, Manchester and Westminster have in common with those at the Charlie Hebdo offices, the Finsbury Park Mosque attack and multiple US shootings? They were all carried out by men with histories of domestic violence. Terrorism begins at home. Terrorism is seen as a special category of crime that has blinded us to the obvious - that it is, almost always, male violence. The extraordinary link between so many tragic recent attacks is that the perpetrators have practised in private before their public outbursts.
