Risorgimento by Lucy Riall
The Risorgimento is considered to be the defining moment in Italy's history, the period where Italy became a nation and entered the modern world. Lucy Riall provides a provocative and pioneering examination of the historical debates surrounding this complex and controversial period, incorporating new research on national identity.
'Extremely well-written and articulately analyzed, Risorgimento offers readers an engaging and invaluable introduction to a complex and determinative component of Italian historyIts outstanding synthesis of historical narrative and historical interpretation make it a must read for those interested in the origins and trajectory of contemporary Italy.' - Marla Stone, Professor of History, Occidental College, Los Angeles, CA, USA
