Events of American foreign policy after World War II that led to the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
The Gates of Hell is based on the story of how the sins of American foreign policy during World War II for the liberation of Italy was tied to the assassination of John F. Kennedy (50th anniversary in 2013). When the USA deported and exported Mafia bosses back to Italy to help with the liberation in World War II, it made a catastrophic mistake of believing that all Mafiosi are alike. The Camorra of Naples who had been running the former kingdom for centuries were suddenly usurped by the agrarian, roughnecks of the Sicilian Mafia unleashing a turf war that would last for over 40 years. At the heart of the action are an American general who came unstuck in World War II in Naples and who later befriended Lee Harvey Oswald, the son of the local Camorra chief and former Indy race car driver, his beautiful American wife, and the British community tied to NATO. Screenplay in development by Douglas Ronald and Susan Ronald. There will be a novel of the same title written by Douglas and Susan as well.
