Emmanuel Amara’s *Nous avons tué Aldo Moro* offers a concise, investigative account of the 1978 kidnapping and murder of Italy’s former prime minister by the Red Brigades. Drawing on contemporary sources and testimonies, the book traces the political climate that enabled extremist violence, examines the motives and methods of the terrorist group, and reflects on the broader implications for Italian democracy. While focused on a single, dramatic episode, the narrative situates the tragedy within the larger context of Cold‑War tensions and domestic unrest, providing readers with a clear understanding of how a nation’s political fractures can culminate in such a shocking act. The work serves both as a historical record and a cautionary study of political extremism.
