if any of you has a good knowledge of italian and a better command of english than I have, please do all of us a favour, download this book and translate it for us.
someone has published a link to a downloadable version of "Berlusconi - The President's business", a book that (at least tries to) shed some lights on where this man and his fortune comes from (
http://italia.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=9808).
the author appeared on TV days before the latest italian elections, and our dear Silvio interveneed with a live phonecall to the program to bark at him.
he and his following have tried in any way to stop it from being published and distributed (as obscene as it sounds, the first editor, the Italian Comunist Party publishers, got bribed into removing the first edition of the book from its list) - the most laughable was a man who went to Fiumicino airport the early ours of the first day of distribution and bought all the copies from the airport bookstore...
as soon as you've read chapter I, you'll understand why they're so adamant that it doesn't get read...
I was at Saturday's demo and found that loads of people still wonder who the fuck he really is and how did he get there - if any of you has a good knowledge of italian and a better command of english than I have, please do all of us a favour, download the pages and translate them for us:

if chapter III is not there yet, get it here:

... I may have a go at it, but then don't laugh at the translation, ok?!
