Italian Neofascism

<p> During the Cold War Italy witnessed the existence of an anomalous version of a civil conflict defined as a 'creeping' or a 'low-intensity' civil war. Political violence escalated including bomb attacks against civilians starting with a massacre in Milan on 12 December 1969 and culminating with the massacre in Bologna on 2 August 1980. Making use of the literature on national reconciliation and narrative psychology theory this book examines the fight over the 'judicial' and the 'historical' truth in Italy today through a contrasting analysis of judicial findings and the 'narratives of victimhood' prevalent among representatives of both the post- and the neo-fascist right.</p>
