C'è un'ansia di cambiamento nel mondo. Papa Francesco la raccoglie nei suoi gesti e nelle sue parole, specialmente in un tempo di crisi quale quello che stiamo vivendo. È chiaro che abbiamo tutti bisogno di capire che cosa ci sta accadendo, di dare una lettura umana e spirituale di quel che viviamo. Francesco, come si comprende in questo volume, assimila la visione di sant'Ignazio di Loyola così come emerge negli Esercizi Spirituali.

La prima parte è dedicata al racconto delle circostanze di tutti gli otto duplici omicidi del Mostro di Firenze, e alla ricostruzione, quasi sempre controversa, della loro dinamica. La seconda parte è un excursus nella ramificata gamma di teorie, con i loro pro e i loro contro, sull'identità del (o dei) "serial killer delle coppiette".

In less than six hours in August 1942, nearly 1,000 British, Canadian, and American commandos died in the French port of Dieppe in an operation that, for decades, seemed to have no real purpose. Canadian historian David O’Keefe uses hitherto classified intelligence archives to prove that this catastrophic and apparently futile raid was, in fact, a mission set up by Ian Fleming of British Naval Intelligence as part of a “pinch” policy designed to capture material relating to the four-rotor Enigma Machine.
