Giulio Andreotti: Power and its Secrets: The story of the man who spanned half a century of Italian politics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798315153429)

This tribute book traces the extraordinary life of Giulio Andreotti, one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in Italian political history. Through a compelling narrative, we discover the journey of a young man who rose from the streets of Rome to lead the country for decades. The narrative reveals previously unpublished aspects of his personality, his unique way of interpreting power and his ability to weather the greatest storms of the Republic unscathed. Testimonies from those who knew him reveal his proverbial sense of humour, his religious devotion and his extraordinary memory. The book explores the crucial moments of his political career: his seven terms as Prime Minister, his key role in the Christian Democrats, the international relations that marked an era. The most difficult years are also analysed, as well as the trials in which he played a leading role and his surprising capacity for resilience. An intimate and accurate portrait that goes beyond the public figure, revealing the man behind the politician: his daily habits, literary passions, relationship with his family and faith. Through historical documents and direct testimonies, a portrait emerges of a character who was able to interpret and influence half a century of Italian history, amidst lights and shadows, successes and controversies. An essential reading to understand not only the man Andreotti, but an entire era of Italian history.
