Aldo Semerari, psichiatra, criminologo e criminale, è stato connesso a tante delle vicende oscure che puntellano la storia d'Italia. Professore universitario, simpatizzante nazista (aveva una bandiera con la svastica sopra il letto e un dobermann a cui dava ordini solo in tedesco), collaboratore tanto della criminalità organizzata quanto dello stato, Semerari era uno degli anelli che congiungeva i due mondi, un filo nero che percorreva terrorismo, stragi e delitti politici. Lo psichiatra Corrado De Rosa ricostruisce una delle figure più controverse del Novecento italiano in una biografia dettagliata e coinvolgente.
Corrado De Rosa (1975) è uno scrittore e psichiatra italiano. Autore di saggistica, nelle sue opere ha affrontato temi quali la follia nei processi mafiosi, l'eversione nera e la presenza della criminalità organizzata nel Nord Italia.
