Capuozzo Toni
Giorni di guerra. Russia e Ucraina, il mondo a pezzi
ill., br. Toni Capuozzo raccoglie in un libro tutte le sue riflessioni sul conflitto tra Ucraina e Russia. Un vero e proprio diario di guerra - suddiviso per giorni - fatto di appunti, pensieri pubblicati sui social, interventi televisivi. Un volume impreziosito da una lunga galleria di foto di grandi reporter italiani dal fronte: Fausto Biloslavo, Gabriele Micalizzi, Francesco Semprini, Vittorio Nicola Rangeloni. Un libro "aperto": attraverso QR Code, si potranno leggere anche le future riflessioni di Capuozzo sugli sviluppi della guerra. "Ci sono sempre colpe da distribuire - scrive Capuozzo - "nessuno è completamente innocente, se non i civili. Sono scettico sul ruolo che l'Occidente sta giocando. Siamo pronti a combattere, ma fino all'ultimo ucraino. È in gioco la democrazia, è in gioco l'Occidente, si mettono tutti l'elmetto però, poi, marcano visita al momento di andarci per davvero... in guerra".

CARLETON GREGORY
Russia: The Story Of War
Belknap Press Cambridge: 2017. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. No nation is a stranger to war but for Russians war is a central part of who they are. Their "motherland" has been the battlefield where some of the largest armies have clashed the most savage battles have been fought the highest death tolls paid. Having prevailed over Mongol hordes and vanquished Napoleon and Hitler many Russians believe no other nation has sacrificed so much for the world. In Russia: The Story of War Gregory Carleton explores how this belief has produced a myth of exceptionalism that pervades Russian culture and politics and has helped forge a national identity rooted in war. While outsiders view Russia as an aggressor Russians themselves see a country surrounded by enemies poised in a permanent defensive crouch as it fights one invader after another. Time and again history has called upon Russia to play the savior�of Europe of Christianity of civilization itself�and its victories especially over the Nazis in World War II have come at immense cost. In this telling even defeats lose their sting. Isolation becomes a virtuous destiny and the whole of its bloody history a point of pride. War is the unifying thread of Russia's national epic one that transcends its wrenching ideological transformations from the archconservative empire to the radical-totalitarian Soviet Union to the resurgent nationalism of the country today. As Putin's Russia asserts itself in ever bolder ways knowing how the story of its war-torn past shapes the present is essential to understanding its self-image and worldview. 304 pages 5-1/2 x 8-1/4 inches 20 halftones 6 maps. Gregory Carleton is Professor of Russian Studies and Chair of the Department of International Literary and Cultural Studies at Tufts University. "Gregory Carleton's book is a salutary reminder of the narratives and images which capture Russians' imagination."�Geoffrey Hosking The Times Literary Supplement "Carleton explores elements of Russian self-image as they appear not only in official narratives but also in literature and film: the endurance and bravery of the solitary soldier a people rising to defend the Motherland the ever-present threat of war and the unspeakable toll it takes. To understand Russia in the Putin era Carleton argues in this spare original book one must recognize the mental and emotional outlook that near-constant war has produced."�Robert Legvold Foreign Affairs "Examines Russia's self-image in detail providing the kind of context and nuance that is badly needed in the current climate of hysteria and conspiracy theories. Looking back eight centuries Carleton traces an epic tale of war and redemption of a Russia that finds itself constantly at risk of barbarian invasion and annihilation and yet manages time and again to save both itself and its neighbors� Russia: The Story of War�makes clear why Russia has been so infuriated by U.S. policy toward Ukraine and Georgia."�Sophie Pinkham The New Republic "Provides a fascinating cultural history of the evolution of what Carleton calls Russia's 'civil religion' a 'grand narrative of war' that reaches back to the Mongol experience in the 13th through 15th centuries and the Time of Troubles in the early 17th century. The key ingredients of the Russian war myth are invasion resistance self-reliance and self-sacrifice. It is a narrative that appears repeatedly throughout Russian history literature art and film and is a current staple of Russian President Vladimir Putin's political rhetoric."�Francis P. Sempa New York Journal of Books "Vividly written and clearly argued Russia: The Story of War is scholarship at its best. Carleton offers the most accessible work available that explains how memories of wars have occupied a preeminent part of the Russian national mythology. Provocative in the best sense and convincing in its interpretations this timely book is packed full of insights."�Stephen M. Norris author of Blockbuster History in the New Russia: Movies Memory Patriotism "Carleton makes an important contribution to understanding post-Soviet Russian nationalism both at the elite level and in popular culture by surveying speeches films novels television and architectural and monumental representations of war and their place in shaping what he calls Russia's civic religion. He shows how Russia's contemporary 'narrative of war' reaches back to the Mongol conquest of the twelfth century and forward to Russia's wars in Afghanistan and Chechnya and even to today's conflict with Ukraine."�Mark von Hagen Arizona State University Belknap Press, Cambridge: 2017 hardcover
