About this episode

In this episode, Jose Galison and Doc Inferno discuss the 1978 kidnapping of Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades, exploring the political context and implications of the event.

In Part 5 of our “Years of Lead” series on “No Way, Jose!”, host Jose Galison sits down again with parapolitical researcher Doc Inferno to examine the explosive 1978 kidnapping of Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades. Episode NWJ868 covers the dramatic events surrounding the abduction itself and pauses for important context on who Aldo Moro truly was: his political vision, his key allies (including connections to Palestinian factions), and the powerful enemies aligned against him — most notably figures like Henry Kissinger. The conversation paints a vivid picture of the high-stakes world of Italian politics at the height of the Cold War. This episode masterfully sets the stage for the tragic conclusion to come in the next installment, while unpacking the personal rivalries, ideological conflicts, and international intrigue that made the Moro kidnapping far more than a simple terrorist act. Jose Galison and Doc Inferno deliver sharp analysis and engaging storytelling that connects the dots between domestic militancy and global power plays. Whether you’re deep into the series or just joining, Pt 5 delivers crucial historical insight you won’t want to miss. Subscribe to Doc's Channel…
