UN'INCHIESTA RIVOLUZIONARIA
CHE RISCRIVE IL CASO MORO

Aldo Moro

«L'Italia è un Paese senza verità. Bisogna rifondare l. a. verità se si vuole rifondare lo stato. Senza l. a. verità su Moro, siamo davvero perduti».

Pochi e apparentemente insignificanti granelli di sabbia depositati sui vestiti che lo statista indossava il giorno della sua morte conducono il lettore verso l. a. definizione di una trama complessa, ma in grado di demolire il castello di bugie e contraddizioni che negli anni ha reso impossibile l’accertamento della verità, fuori e dentro le aule dei tribunali. Ciò che fino a oggi sembrava incomprensibile o caotico – le allusioni delle lettere di Moro dalla «prigione del popolo», il comportamento paradossale dei suoi carcerieri, le oscillazioni dei politici, il coinvolgimento del Vaticano, della malavita organizzata, di Gladio, della P2, dei servizi segreti statunitensi, e soprattutto l’identità di chi uccise il presidente della DC – appare finalmente chiaro e dotato di saldatura logica. Morte di un Presidente è un libro destinato a much discutere perché svela quel «segreto» del caso Moro che in troppi, a quasi quarant’anni dai fatti, hanno ancora interesse a difendere.

«A me sembra che entro l. a. prossima generazione… esisterà un metodo in keeping with a ways amare alla gente l. a. propria schiavitù, in keeping with indurre una dittatura senza lacrime, una sorta di campo di concentramento in keeping with l’intera società, dove le persone siano inner most della loro libertà ma finiscano col goderne, perché distratte da ogni desiderio di ribellarsi da propaganda e lavaggi del cervello potenziati da metodi farmacologici».
Aldous Huxley
