Writers and filmakers have imortalized the Sicilian crime family´s 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 family´s 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 father´s 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 Rocco´s 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 Navy´s 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.
