About This Item
Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1959. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near fine copy in the original gilt-blocked cloth. Slightest suggestion only of dust-dulling to the spine bands and panel edges. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong. Physical description: xi, 508, xxviii pages: map; 24 cm. Summary: The author explains why the cradle of western civilization, which has assimilated so many barbarians in its time, endured the tyrant Mussolini and a sack worse than any in its past. He shows how the peasantry and the clergy were at once actors and pawns in the drama of Italy's history, and how the defects in her society led to the internal strife she knows today. Subjects: Italy History 19th century. Italy History 20th century. Italy History 1870-1914. Italy History 1914-1945. Italy Politics and government.
