Dirty war stories

I have not finished reading political war, but already I find an intense book, about the news in its dynamism and interest in and deeper reflection and meditatache should follow to any experience. This is a collection of reportage Goffredo Parise, espresso and then a journalist for Corriere della Sera, on Vietnam, Biafra, and Laos and Chile 'was the first Italian to be gone in Biafra, even if it was not immediately welcome to his reporting . contains several passages that struck me, I do not know if decontextualized abbianolo same value, but I think it's worth it. In a few words with regard to Biafra, it is was born and died in a 'period of one year. It was a breakaway region of central Nigeria, the most oil-rich as it happens.

What remains is the association spent instinctive and perhaps unconscious: Biafra-hungry, but meanwhile it is Ojukwu refugee with his cadillac somewhere.
Reflection is a bit long for this post, publish it in a aparte.
