Vincitore del Premio del Libro dell'Associazione di Storia Orale 2005. Il 24 marzo 1944, le forze di occupazione naziste a Roma uccisero 335 civili disarmati in rappresaglia per un attacco partigiano avvenuto il giorno prima. Alessandro Portelli ha creato una storia orale eloquente e multivocale del massacro, del suo contesto e delle sue conseguenze. Le toccanti storie delle vittime, delle donne e dei bambini che sono sopravvissuti e hanno continuato a vivere, dei partigiani che hanno combattuto contro i nazisti e delle persone comuni che hanno vissuto le tragedie della guerra dipingono un ritratto multicolore di una delle città più storicamente ricche del mondo. L'Ordine è già stato eseguito racconta potentemente le lotte per la libertà sotto il fascismo e il nazismo, le battaglie per la memoria nella democrazia del dopoguerra e i significati della morte e del lutto nella società moderna.
