Ghost Stories For The End Of The World

We are back with the first of a new quartet of episodes! This time we're looking at the Years of Lead, and the story of Aldo Moro's kidnapping by the Red Brigades. Political idealism, deep intrigue and staggering violence collide in an event that still casts a long shadow today. We cap off with a brief book recommendation too! Apologies for the layoff; hopefully you remain un-captured.

For anyone who ever suspected "They" were out to get you, here it is: Operation Gladio, the notorious secret armies of NATO. We explore the formation and activities of the famous stay-behind networks, taking in terrorism, the CIA and the mafia, while also discussing Italy in the post-war period.
