Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Garibaldi and the Thousand described the landing at Marsala and the capture of Palermo by that handful of men in May, i860. The present volume traces the course of larger military, diplomatic, and political events by which the original achievement of the Thousand led in six months to the formation of the Italian Kingdom. I have once more endeavoured, in footnotes and appendices connected with a full bibliography, to indicate to the curious my authority for any statement made in the text. But in this as in previous volumes, considerations of time and space have made it impossible to explain the nature, limit, and degree of the value to be attached in each case to each of the authorities cited in a given note. And if any student ever has enough enthusiasm to visit various public and private libraries, and so verify all the references which I have given for any one important event e.g. the Battle of Milazzo, or Garibaldi sentry into Naples he will find that the authorities which I have cited contradict each other on minor points. Volumes would be required to explain in every case why I have preferred one authority on one small point, and another on another.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In the wake of Garibaldi's stunning capture of Palermo in 1860, this book delves into the tumultuous six months that followed, a period that witnessed the birth of the Italian Kingdom. It weaves together a complex tapestry of regular and guerilla warfare, secret diplomacy, and political maneuvering across all levels of society. The narrative sweeps across the Italian peninsula and into the heart of European capitals, capturing the suspense and uncertainty that hung over the struggle for unification. This book explores how Italy, despite facing opposition from major European powers, narrowly avoided another setback like the failed revolution of 1848. It examines the deftness with which Cavour navigated the political landscape, the crucial role played by popular support for both Cavour and Garibaldi, and the almost mythical luck and military brilliance of Garibaldi himself. The author delves into the conflicting approaches of these two iconic figures, revealing how their contrasting strategies ultimately converged at the critical juncture to secure Italian unity. By illuminating the intricate dynamics at play during this pivotal period, this book offers profound insights into the complex process of nation-building and the delicate interplay of revolution, diplomacy, and popular will. It ultimately underscores the significance of 1860 as the year Italy truly became a nation, laying the groundwork for the eventual incorporation of Rome and Venice and the completion of the Risorgimento. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781440091926_0
