  • Summary

  • Happy New Year Listeners! For this month's bonus episode Isaac and Peter re-examine the 1943 drive-by murder of Anarchist/Organizer/Fed?/Gadfly and "man of great appetites" Carlo Tresca. And for our non-subscribers we're happy to provide this 30 minute preview, with almost a whole hour extra along with more documents, if you subscribe.


    Tresca had a incredible career as uncompromising anarchist man-among-the-people, who for decades unleashed a flood of agitprop for strike defense and against the church, mafia, and fascists as a speaker and in his constantly financially-troubled newspaper Il Martello. As he got older though, we see Tresca as an alliance-spinning wheeler and dealer and FBI informant, who became an increasingly annoying thorn to the newly-sanitized fascists and mafiosi ready to resume running Italy following a US invasion.


    With documents from the NY archives we unpack the details of Tresca's 'unsolved' murder by Mafia gunman Carmine Galante, and then walk through the rogue's gallery of a fascist oligarch and his henchmen who organized the hit, as well as why and how an investigation with serious evidence got derailed.
