Sassari, September 27: presentation of the book “FORSE SPECIALI – 100 GIORNI ALL’INFERNO” by Claudio Spinelli

On Saturday, September 27 in Sassari, at the GluteSculpt Center, the book “FORSE SPECIALI – 100 GIORNI ALL’INFERNO” by Claudio Spinelli, Commando of the 9º Reggimento d’Assalto “Col Moschin” until 2017, will be presented.
The meeting will be moderated by Raffaele Sestilli, Retired Paratrooper of the 186º Reggimento Folgore, our regular reader, friend, and collaborator on various occasions on our blog BRIGATAFOLGORE.NET.

A raw, authentic, necessary story

Spinelli's volume is, according to many (including us), one of the best biographies ever written by an Italian commando. Enlisted as a volunteer in the Paratroopers of the Folgore in 1998 and later became an Army Commando, the author retraces the moments that saw him engaged in Afghanistan in the legendary Task Force 45, among high-intensity operations, firefights, casualties, and injuries, giving the reader the human and operational side of those who served on the front line.

The narration is direct, unfiltered, supported by unpublished images and a rhythm that pulls you into the action.

Two editions for two reading experiences

From the first release, an editorial project was born in two versions:

• FORSE SPECIALI: 100 GIORNI ALL’INFERNO – the original edition, the raw and unfiltered account of the field experience.
• FORSE SPECIALI 2.0: What Wasn't Said – revised and improved edition, with a more fluid structure, two exclusive chapters added, and numerous photos that accompany the reader. An unmissable continuation even for those who have already read the first version.

Why attend the presentation

• Direct meeting with the author: hear from his voice, context, motivations, and behind-the-scenes.
• Historical-operational insight: from Folgore to Col Moschin, up to TF-45.
• Community: meeting a commando is not an everyday occurrence; there will be the opportunity to engage and ask questions.
