Commando - Mémoires d'un homme de la Decima MAS (1940-1945) plonge le lecteur au coeur de l'une des pages les plus sombres, les plus complexes et les plus controversées de l'histoire italienne du XXe siècle.
À travers la voix d'Elio Curti, jeune homme du Sud de l'Italie, né en 1920 et élevé dans l'ombre d'une mère romaine, ce récit retrace le parcours d'un volontaire de la Decima MAS, unité spéciale de la Marine italienne, depuis l'entrée en guerre de l'Italie le 10 juin 1940 jusqu'aux interrogatoires de l'après-guerre en juin 1945.
Au départ, Curti n'est qu'un jeune soldat fasciné par la mer, l'honneur militaire et l'idée de servir sa patrie. Son engagement dans la Dixième Flottille MAS l'entraîne dans un monde secret, exigeant et impitoyable: entraînement à Bocca di Serchio, torpilles à déplacement lent, missions nocturnes, infiltrations sous-marines, opérations en Méditerranée, Gibraltar, Malte, l'Égée, Alexandrie.
Mais la guerre change les hommes. Et l'Histoire, elle, ne pardonne pas.
Après l'armistice de septembre 1943, l'Italie se déchire. Le roi, Badoglio, Mussolini, les Allemands, les Alliés, les partisans: plus rien n'est simple, plus rien n'est pur. Curti choisit de rester avec la Decima MAS et de se ranger du côté de la République sociale italienne. Ce choix le conduit dans une guerre nouvelle, plus cruelle encore que celle menée contre l'ennemi étranger: une guerre civile, où des Italiens traquent, dénoncent et tuent d'autres Italiens.
De La Spezia à Gênes, de la Ligurie au Piémont, des ports du Nord aux patrouilles sur le Pô, Curti voit s'effondrer peu à peu tout ce en quoi il avait cru. L'honneur devient survie. La discipline devient obéissance aveugle. La camaraderie devient soupçon. Et la victoire, un mot vide.
Ce livre n'est ni une glorification ni une condamnation simpliste. C'est le témoignage romanesque d'un homme pris dans l'engrenage de la guerre, de l'idéologie et de la défaite. Un récit dur, humain, parfois dérangeant, qui interroge la frontière entre devoir, fanatisme, loyauté et culpabilité.
À travers 47 chapitres chronologiques, Commando - Mémoires d'un homme de la Decima MAS (1940-1945) raconte la chute progressive d'un monde: celui de l'Italie fasciste, de la guerre navale secrète, de la République de Salò et d'une génération sacrifiée aux illusions de son époque.
Un roman historique intense pour les lecteurs passionnés par la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'histoire militaire italienne, les unités spéciales navales, la guerre civile italienne et les destins individuels broyés par les grandes tragédies du siècle.
Un homme. Une unité d'élite. Une guerre perdue. Une mémoire impossible à faire taire.
