«I gendarmi della memoria» is the historical essay by Giampaolo Pansa, published by Sperling & Kupfer in hardcover (503 pages, in Italian).
Pansa defines the «gendarmes of memory» as those who guard the official account of the Italian civil war and prevent dissenting readings. The book reconstructs the hostile reaction to his earlier work «La Grande Bugia» and documents silenced stories, with testimonies that waited decades.
The cover subtitle is «Chi imprigiona la verità sulla guerra civile». Published in 2007, it belongs to the Saggi collection by Sperling & Kupfer.
For readers interested in critical historiography of postwar Italy and debates on the memory of the Resistance.
Giampaolo Pansa was an Italian journalist, commentator, and novelist. Most of his writings were rooted in modern or contemporary history, notably with regard to the Italian Resistance and the years of Benito Mussolini.
