'The Lead Years' - a special period in the history of Italy. After the last shots of World War II had faded away and Mussolini was executed by partisans, a fragile peace temporarily settled over the country. The economy was growing, Americans were building their bases, and the monarchy was definitively replaced by a republic. The peace did not last long. By the mid-sixties, Italy was once again plunged into a bloody internal struggle between ultra-left and ultra-right terrorist organizations. The former were supported by the common people, while the latter were backed by the CIA. In the seventies, the 'Red Brigades' entered the arena of struggle - the strongest left-wing organization in Europe at that time. Carrying out one bloody and incredibly complex operation after another, its fighters skillfully evaded the police. This book presents the memoirs of two (out of six) founders of the 'Red Brigades' - Renato Curcio and Mario Moretti. Read about Italy in the seventies, political radical struggle, terror, and communist revolution in this book.
