1953287 pages. Index. "An attempt to tell the almost complete story of the part pseudo Americans have played, and are playing, in the Communist conspiracy to destroy the American way of life, and to turn the United States of America over to the War Lords of Moscow. The book publishing industry, even today, is completely red, pink, orange or yellow. Not a single orthodox publisher would handle RED RAT RACE - and not in every case because it put the finger on disloyal 'Americans' in high places. Rather, those book houses not owned by Communist dupes and sympathizers lacked totally the intestinal fortitude to stand up against Communist abuse and vilification." - Preface.

The People's War destroys the soul of a nation, systematically leading it into disobedience and disrespect of law and order. As in all revolutions, the People's War means complete chaos, a savage struggle in which the end justifies the means, and vengeance, trickery, and even treachery, play a great part." - Introduction.

2020Questo libro raccoglie, oltre ad alcuni testi inediti, più di sessanta articoli e saggi di Rosaria Bertolucci – dedicati a Carrara e al territorio apuano-versiliese – pubblicati tra il 1978 e il 1990 sulle cronache locali di quotidiani, tra cui «La Nazione» e «le Città», in libri collettivi o riviste. L’idea della raccolta era nei progetti dell’autrice, che già a metà degli anni Ottanta aveva in mente una pubblicazione complessiva sulla storia della città del marmo, un tema questo che è stato al centro dei suoi interessi di studiosa negli ultimi quindici anni della sua vita. Il volume è, dunque, prima di tutto una testimonianza viva dell’amore che la scrittrice provava per la storia di questa città e del suo territorio, e il maggior pregio degli scritti che proponiamo dovevano svolgere – nelle intenzioni dell’autrice – quella funzione di traghettare verso le nuove generazioni la consapevolezza e la conoscenza critica del suo ricco e vivace passato. 528 pp, ill. Rosaria Ciampella nei Bertolucci (1927-1990) romana di nascita ma "versiliese d'adozione" è stata una poetessa, scrittrice e giornalista che ha posto sempre alla propria attenzione lo studio per la letteratura e la storia. Tra le sue opere di critica letteraria, sempre corredate da una ricca documentazione, si ricordano Pea, uomo di Versilia, 1978; Il principe dimenticato, 1979; Cardarelli sconosciuto, 1980; Lorenzo Viani parole come colore, 1980; Sibilla Aleramo una vita, 1983. A tali lavori si sono affiancati poi saggi storici come Milleottocentonovantaquattro storia di una rivolta, 1981; A come anarchia o come Apua: un anarchico a Carrara Ugo Mazzucchelli, 1988 e infine Ilario Bessi, Luci di Marmo, 1989.
2020158 p. [2] p. di tav. ; 21 x 14 cm Tra le carte lasciate dall’autore vi sono, oltre a 38 taccuini, un dossier di 24 fascicoli catalogati sotto la sigla Corrispondenze Reporter. Sono testi quasi tutti dedicati alla vita politica e culturale delle due Germanie negli anni Ottanta, quando Manenti vi ha a lungo soggiornato. Delle Corrispondenze si pubblicano qui solo i testi completi, dattiloscritti, corretti a mano e datati dall’autore stesso, o comunque databili. Solo alcune di esse furono pubblicate in «Fine Secolo», il settimanale culturale del quotidiano «Reporter». Le completano gli articoli usciti su «Diario della Settimana», negli anni ’90, perché i testi costituiscono, a parere dei curatori, un corpo omogeneo per i temi trattati. Oltre alle Corrispondenze edite e inedite, si propone qui una selezione – ragionata e commentata – messa in opera da Michele Battini di pensieri, note di lettura, e aforismi tratti dai taccuini, scritti a partire dagli anni ’80. A cura di Alessandra Peretti e Michele Battini.
2021Fra il 1920 e il 1923 anche le strade di Livorno videro l’inizio di una lunga guerra civile in cui le differenze ideali tra quanti si affrontarono furono nette e l’ostilità profonda, anticipando quella combattuta un ventennio dopo. Negli anni precedenti la Marcia su Roma e l’avvento del regime, il fascismo livornese incontrò infatti nei quartieri popolari una decisa opposizione, così come emerge dall’impressionante cronologia dei conflitti in quegli anni. Oltre a quella degli Arditi del popolo, fu una quotidiana resistenza di uomini e donne, nel segno dell’appartenenza di classe e dello storico sovversivismo, disposte ad impugnare le armi per contrastare lo squadrismo “tricolorato” e la reazione padronale, in difesa delle libertà sociali. Soltanto nell’agosto 1922, grazie all’intervento dell’esercito e con lo stato d’assedio disposto dal governo, i fascisti e i nazionalisti poterono imporre le dimissioni del sindaco Mondolfi e dell’amministrazione “rossa”, democraticamente eletta. Il marchese Dino Perrone Compagni che assieme a Costanzo Ciano aveva guidato le squadre fasciste toscane, seminando morte e devastazione, inviò un telegramma al segretario nazionale del Partito fascista per comunicare la “caduta” di Livorno, ammettendo che: «Fra le mie battaglie questa più faticosa».
