Frank Luke, Jr., was an unlikely pilot. In the Great War, when fliers were still "knights of the air", Luke was an ungallant loner, a kid from Arizona who collected tarantulas, shot buzzards, and boxed miners. But during two torrid weeks in September 1918, he was the deadliest man on the Western Front. In only 10 missions, he destroyed 14 heavily defended German balloons and four airplanes, a rampage unequalled even by the dreaded von Richtofen, and the second highest American tally of the entire war.

Pezzan e Brunoro hanno realizzato la più completa ed approfondita analisi mai fatta finora su uno dei misteri italiani più inquietanti: il caso di Unabomber.

For decades, Fred Burton was a key figure in international counterterrorism and domestic spy craft. As a member of the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service in the mid 1980s, he was on the front lines of America's first campaign against terror. Now, in this hard-hitting memoir, Burton emerges from the shadows to reveal who he is, what he has accomplished, and the threats that lurk unseen except by an experienced, world-wise few.

"Vi sitter vid vattnet. En man i polisuniform skjuter. Hjälp oss när polisen kommer", "Det är någon som skjuter på Utøya. Tillkalla polisen", "Ring inte till mig. Jag gömmer mig". Det här är bara några av de rop på hjälp som spreds i förtvivlande sms och twitterinlägg den 22 juli 2011, dagen då Oslo och hela Norge var med om det första terrorangreppet på norsk mark. 77 människor miste livet denna dag. Det var dagen då en ensam man från Vestlandet gjorde Norge till skådeplats för sitt eget heliga krig.

Don Miller was quiet and reserved. As a former youth pastor, he seemed a devout Christian. No one would have ever suspected that the recent graduate of the Michigan State University School of Criminal Justice was a serial killer. However, when Miller was arrested for the attempted murder of two teenagers in 1978, police quickly realized he was probably responsible for the disappearances of four women. Offered a still-controversial plea bargain, he led police to the bodies of the missing women. Now, after 40 years in prison, Miller has served his time.

"Giusto terrore": il verbo si fa carne, la carne si fa corpi. Alcuni corpi si fanno proiettile, altri si fanno polvere. Un sentiero di morte, comparso dal nulla e nel nulla diretto, che tuttavia da lungo tempo incrocia le nostre strade. Ma come raccontarlo? Come separare i nomi delle vittime da quelli dei carnefici e farne simboli efficaci, farne storie, renderli fruibili, commestibili, assimilabili?
