Christie, Stuart. Stefano Delle Chiaie: Portrait of a Black Terrorist. London: Anarchy Magazine/Refract Publications, 1984. 182 pages.

In 1943 the Allies landed in Sicily flying Mafia colors, and the following year James Angleton headed the OSS special ops section in Rome. In 1945 Angleton rescued Valerio Borghese ("The Black Prince") from the death sentence he was given by the Italian Resistance for war crimes, and in 1948 he helped orchestrate the CIA's successful intervention in the Italian elections to keep the Communists from winning. With this sort of legacy, it's no wonder that "black" politics has been dominant in Italy ever since.

Organized crime, corrupt Italian secret services, and unrepentant fascists have been working together through powerful Masonic societies such as Propaganda Due (P2 Lodge). In the 1960s some of them began a campaign of terror and murder that was known as the "Strategy of Tension." A favorite tactic was to blame their acts on the Left so as to legitimize more power for their friends on the Right. The most outrageous crime was the Bologna railway station bombing in 1980 that killed 85 innocent people; one of the five named as suspects by the investigating judge was Stefano Delle Chiaie. This book examines what's known and speculated about the career of Delle Chiaie, who also moved among ex-Nazi and junta circles in Latin America, Spain, and Greece.
