Book Information
The first complete account of Italy's governmental crisis and its roots in the Cold War period. McCarthy finds the roots of Berlusconi's rise and fall in the practices of clientalism, the machinations of the Mafia, the corporate direction of Fiat, the edicts of the Vatican, and the organization of the Italian soccer league. A fascinating story that will interest any reader of current affairs.
