I am finishing the last book of Benjamin Prado, Operation Gladio, which is as addictive as the previous one, Poor people walking. The most recent mixing real characters with fictional characters and real people under another name, if John Urban, who is the alter ego of Benjamin Prado, or Isidoro Market, which is actually Felipe Gonzalez, to name two examples. The action takes place in the present, but the plot goes back to the hardest years of the Transition to 23-F, and even beyond, the war and the creation of the Valley of the Fallen, and the fact transcendental This is the killing of labor lawyers in Calle Atocha in Madrid enenro 1977. In the novel, the Red Gladio book's title was a criminal network sponsored by the CIA, which, according to the novel, in some cases paid assassins and manipulated in other diverse groups (according to the theory advanced in the book, even the GRAPO, the Red Brigades ...) to create a state of crisis and political violence and terrorism in the EU-70 that cause rejection of the population to the Western communist parties of the most diverse trends, and then be extended to South America.
This is the theory, but more, as they say in the Warner, the conspiracy theory of 23-F, for example, or CIA involvement in the attack against Carrero Blanco, but in this case is inconsistent with the general theory I think. Finally, the book is very well, is very modern, very entertaining and interesting and very well written. Theories, since one can take some into consideration, and other, other. It is also true that many of the characters are very believable, as Judge Barbara Valdes, but others not so as mentioned Juan Urbano, whose reaction to the disappearance of the woman he lived did not seem very normal, they say. Underlies the thinking of the X-Files : the government denies all knowledge / truth is out there. And yes, though entertaining, is excessive, but the spirit of the times.
