A Kidnapping in Milan: The CIA on Trial ReviewI had the pleasure of reading this book and to summarize my reactions I see no better way than to enumerate its attractions.Extremely well researched CHECK
It's about real events but reads like a novelCHECK
Well writtenCHECK
Hard to put it down until finished CHECK
Thought-provokingCHECK
As an Italian, who actually remembers reading and following the events as they were happening, I'm overwhelmed of how well researched the book is and well informed its author.
The only possible drawback that I can see, which could prevent this book from becoming a major best-seller, is that the subject might look "minor", at least in the view of many potential American readers.
But let me say that the real subject is not the kidnapping itself, grippingly told and with a sense of being-there intensity, but the moral conundrum that modern societies have to face ( and decide on) when dealing with terrorism.
As The Bard would have said: To Be or Not To Be ( a renditioner and a torturer)?
Hendricks' adamant and passionate response is that we cannot renounce the tenets and foundations of our present civilized society. To do so would mean dropping " civilized" from the description of the world we live in and eventually fulfilling the terrorists' aim of dragging us down to their level of incivility.
Hendricks is especially focused in trying to show the extreme "ordinariness" of both the kidnappers and the kidnapped. It's an eloquent appeal to our souls not to repeat the mistakes of the past ( with Nazism coming to mind, where people were so dispossessed of their critical capacities as to condone all the atrocities that the regime carried out).
I'm looking forward to reading Hendricks's previous book to get a better sense of his self.
But I'm also looking forward to his next book hoping, for him, that the subject has wider appeal for his American readers.
From what I can see, it seems to me that he is sharpening his writing skills and his amazing research capabilities while looking for some even more controversial, big time subject to tackle.A Kidnapping in Milan: The CIA on Trial Overview
