Italy: From Revolution To Republic, 1700 To The Present

by Spencer M. Di Scala

This book fills a serious gap in the field by synthesizing modern Italian history and placing it in a fully European context. Di Scala also critically reexamines certain traditional historical interpretations. He gives prominence to social, economic, and cultural developments while providing a picture of how ordinary Italians lived. Cast in a clear and lively style that will appeal to students, this book is an indispensable introduction to the history of modern Italy.
