Excellent! (1/1 people found this helpful)

A truly excellent book that I can't recommend enough. Alexander Stille presents the Berlusconi story in its complex entirety - no mean feat. The fact that his book is so readable adds to the strength of both his research and his writing. Alexander Stille is a credit to his father, Ugo Stille and I can't wait for the Italian translation to be available so that I can give one or two copies to friends in Italy. Bravo!

Wonderful (1/1 people found this helpful)

A must read. The fact that this book hasn't got an English publisher can only be because Berlusconi lost power earlier this year and is thus assumed to be interesting no longer. This isn't the case. The book is absolutely fascinating, managing to be humorous and serious at the same time. Alexander Stille makes a devastating case against Berlusconi, yet he's still there as leader of the opposition, with the very real possibility of becoming prime minister again sometime in the future.
