Brossura. Condition: new. Firenze, 2025; br., pp. 324.(Sempreverdi). Nato come memoriale di guerra, divenuto documento storico di eccezionale rilievo e a tutti gli effetti un classico della storia militare, "Decima Flottiglia MAS" ricostruisce la nascita, lo sviluppo e l'impiego dei mezzi d'assalto della Regia Marina durante il secondo conflitto mondiale. Tra le pagine di Borghese - ufficiale di marina, innovatore tecnico e comandante carismatico - prendono vita gli uomini che diedero forma a una leggenda: Teseo Tesei, Salvatore Todaro, Luigi Durand de la Penne e molti altri protagonisti di imprese memorabili, compiute nel silenzio e nell'abisso. Ma il libro non è solo cronaca militare: è testimonianza di un'idea di onore, di disciplina e di sacrificio, destinata a sopravvivere alla sconfitta e al tempo. Scritto con sobrietà e rigore, questo testo fondativo della letteratura navale italiana restituisce la voce di una generazione di uomini che, di fronte al crollo delle istituzioni e al tradimento dell'8 settembre, continuarono a combattere in nome di un principio più alto della stessa vittoria. Libro.
