BOOK
The Last
Supper
The
mafia, the masons and the killing
of Roberto Calvi
The
death of Roberto ‘God’s
Banker’ Calvi, found hanging from scaffolding under Blackfriars
Bridge days before his bank’s collapse, lies at the centre of
one of the most extraordinary criminal puzzles of all time. Straight
from the dark heart of Italy, the story involves the largest bankruptcy
in European history, complex forensics, and secret masonic rituals,
with a cast of characters to put The Da Vinci Code to shame – including
Opus Dei, the mafia, the Vatican and the governments of Italy, the
USA and the UK.

 Puppetmasters.
The Political Use of Terrorism in Italy
Puppetmasters
reveals how US intelligence services exploited the P2 masonic lodge
to prop up friendly Christian Democrat-dominated governments and counter
the growing political influence of the Italian Communist Party. It
was a ruthless strategy involving coup plots, right wing terrorist
bombings and the manipulation of the Red Brigades. And gave Italy one
of the bloodiest and most protracted periods of terrorist violence
ever seen in a modern, industrialised society.
