Listening to "little stories" in the great story. The challenge of Islam
Pansa was recently accused of revisionism for the book "The losers" and now for his latest anti-"Prisoners of Silence".
are books that do a lot to discuss.
Pansa is very good in choosing to tell stories that arouse controversy where the noise increases the popularity of his books.
I frankly do not find in this book is neither anti-revisionism, I am rather surprised that we be surprised when you tell the dark side of history.
Those who love history knows how many dark sides behind the great stories told by those who won.
When a faithful chronicler tells them not be surprised or shocked. Simply become aware that these things really happened.
The so-called realpolitik or reason of state has uncovered huge infamy, and identified by some others that we will never know.
The big story is always passed on to so many innocent people who were unwitting pawns in a game that did not take into account them.
What could the PCI timing of the Cominform and the Cold War to the Communists fled from Italy who were killed or tortured by the militia of Tito?
Perhaps nothing more than what he did. If anything, one must ask why try to hide those facts. This is the bane of today's society: to divide the good from the bad ones who are never wrong do not make a right. It must therefore be
lie, ignore what is inconvenient and does not back the bill.
many dark sides can also be found in current history?
The role of the West in the mass killings carried out by Saddam Hussein when it was still an awkward partner, the crimes committed by the Chinese regime by which we seek in all ways of doing business; Putin, the current close friend of our chairman of the board and former head of the KGB, is erecting monuments in Russia quell'Andropov and internal dissidents in psychiatric hospitals and is drawing a veil of silence about what is happening in Chechnya.
The list goes on and on.
Pansa and I hope others have much less noble material to tell stories, but still humanly important, that there must shock and provide opportunities for political manipulation, but simply to reflect on the nature of men.
... and we think we live in an age so distant or different from that they lived in the protagonists of these past events.
