What a Story! The Day Against the Mafia

Adventures of Yesterday for Today’s Readers

History isn’t just what’s taught in school. It’s also — and above all — the grand tale of thrilling, thought-provoking, unpredictable, and at times frightening events… yet all real.
A book series that tells fragments of History while drawing today’s readers right into the story.

The Day Against the Mafia is a powerful and accessible account dedicated to memory and civic commitment: through stories of courage, everyday struggles, and mafia victims, the book explains to young readers why a special day exists to say “no” to organized crime and to promote a culture of legality.

• Incredible true stories from ancient times to the modern era.
• Each volume includes small appendices for further insight: facts, trivia, and anecdotes.
