2017Benché circondato per tre lati dal Mediterraneo, l'Italia è un Paese amarittimo. Eppure la nostra posizione strategica e l'aumento costante dei traffici navali nell'economia globale ci hanno restituito centralità solo dopo la fine della Guerra fredda. Da un lato le opportunità crescono insieme ai rischi, per cui sia lo sviluppo che i pericoli provengono dal mare. La dimensione della sicurezza è fondamentale per contrastare la criminalità e l'immigrazione illegale che si svolgono attraverso il traffico marittimo. E si tratta di fenomeni che, se non contrastati e controllati adeguatamente, sono destinati a stravolgere in profondità la società contemporanea. Appunto per questo l'intelligence diventa lo strumento principale per capire, per prevedere e per intervenire. Autori: Mario Caligiuri, Andrea Sberze.

He was a contemporary of Wyatt Earp, Buffalo Bill Cody, Doc Holliday, John Wesley Hardin and James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickock. Thompson had a colorful career, fighting with the Confederates during the Civil War, and in Mexico under the Emperor, before being imprisoned at the age of 25 for severely injuring his brother-in-law, who had physically abused Thompson's wife. After his release, Thompson made his name as a gunman and a gambler in Texas and Kansas. After he was hired in 1881 as Marshal in Austin, Texas, the crime rate dropped sharply during his term. He was murdered at the age of 40 in San Antonio on March 11, 1884 during the Vaudeville Theater Ambush. Adams. Six Guns #2154. Hardbound. Very good. Scarce original edition. W8RtFront
