Writers and filmakers have imortalized the Sicilian crime familys
concept of power for decades to a world audience intrigued with
Italian culture. IMMORTALLY ROMAN takes us inside that facinating
culture and exposes for the first time a different traditional
Italian cultural concept of power. Political, military,
intelligence, and social concepts of power secretly practiced by
Roman Legion Commanders and passed down from father to son thru a
Calabrian familys tradition of the Black Knight are revealed
through the adventures of a handsome young Italian-American Patriot
in a time period of monumental international events capable of
moving the United States to the heights of world leadership or the
depths of self destruction.Marcos Capodante is groomed by his
father Rocco to become a powerful player in high-level circles of
international power. Following in the footsteps of his fathers
brilliant Intelligence career in WWII, Marcos emerges onto the
world theater as a US Navy Pilot towards the end of the Korean War.
Reality hits Marcos head on. After being wounded on a flight over
Korea he is reassigned as Chief Engineer aboard the USS Cavallaro
APD-128 to Saigon just prior to the final battle of Dien Bien Phu
and the fall of French Colonial Indochina. Under Roccos masterful
guidance Marcos begins his own transformation into the extension of
his historical contemporaries.The USS Cavallaro was a unique class
of warship cloaked in mystery operating alone on Dark Missions
throughout the Pacific. In 1954 she was stationed in Saigon acting
as forward observation post for Naval Intelligence as military and
political events escalated out of control between China, Russia,
France, and the United States.With an incessant ancestral drive to
become a part of the Power Game Marcos positions himself at the
very center of unfolding history. Together in an unlikely
friendship with the Chief of French Intelligence and within the
lavish social life of French Colonial Saigon, they devise an
intriguing plot involving the beautiful wife of the American
Ambassador to thwart the growing influence of the Black Forces.The
fragile balance between barbarians and a civilized world was in the
process of being changed and the individuals making military and
political decisions would find themselves awash in a sea of
mediocrity and incompetence. In WWII, Korea, and Vietnam the USS
Cavallaro APD-128 actively carried out operational intelligence
missions as an active fighting unit with the capability to raise
havoc along hostile coastal shores using classified underwater
demolition teams of Army Special Forces and specialized Marine
Raiding Parties. Wherever the Cavallaro went, dangerous actions
followed.In the fall of 1954 the Cavallaro was stationed at Saigon
Vietnam acting as Command and Control ship for the US Navys
Operation "Passage to Freedom." The history of this ship and other
ships of her class represent untold stories of combat and intrigue.
APD sailors operated throughout the Pacific Ocean defending
American interests alone without restrictions. Thus making the
covert war ship uniquely suited for the emerging second
Italian-American generation of the Black Knight tradition. It was
the perfect Roman Base of Operation to expand clandestine
activities and develop a masterful plan for an extraordinary young
mans future in the BLACK WORLD OF INTELLIGENCE.
The British journalist and mining expert John Baptist Austin
(1827-96) moved to Adelaide as a young man with his family. During
the 1850s he became closely involved in the South Australian mining
industry and the gold rush in Victoria. Austin was rewarded for his
outstanding expertise and became secretary of several corporations,
including the Adelaide and West Kanmantoo mining companies. His
extensive knowledge is reflected in this work, first published in
1863. Offering a first-hand account of South Australian mining
culture, it contains a great many descriptions of individual mines
along with details of the everyday life of the miners. The book
also provides insight into the region's Cornish mining heritage:
many mines were named 'Wheal', family names such as 'Rodda' are
mentioned, and direct comparisons of the mineralogy and the
regulations for mineral prospecting are made.
