"ACAB. All Cops Are Bastards. The refrain of a famous 1970s skin tune becomes a universal call to war in the cities, in the streets. Michelangelo, "Drago" and "the Sloppy One" are three "celerini bastards." They are hated and have learned to hate. One only has to read their department's impressive and unedited chat to understand this. Raised in the cult of the fascist right, they discover themselves disillusioned at the end of a parable of violence that is their "sentimental education." In Bonini's narrative, through the eye and language of the "cops" and a lengthy field investigation, the hidden plot of the most disconcerting episodes of urban violence that have occurred in Italy in the past two years is revealed. Which links in a fast pace and exciting writing episodes that happened in different times and places such as the ultras' military assault on a Rome barracks and the Romanian hunt in the suburbs, the Cpts for illegal immigrants and the Pianura landfill clashes. The chain of hatred and impunity.
