"The Unification of Italy in the nineteenth century was the unlikely result of a lengthy and complex process of Italian revival ("Risorgimento"). Few Italians supported Unification and the new rulers of Italy were unable to resolve their disputes with the Catholic Church, the local power holders in the South and the peasantry." "This new edition has been revised in the light of recent research and now has a greater emphasis on the 'losers' of the conflict, the impact of Unification on the South, and the complexity of the political realities of the times. It has also been updated with useful additional material such as a Who's Who and a plate section to go alongside its carefully chosen selection of original documents."—BOOK JACKET.
