About This Novel
Since its unification in 1861, Italy has made unremitting efforts to build an efficient political system and a high sense of national identity. This second edition of Christopher Duggan's acclaimed Cambridge History of Italy describes the political and socioeconomic evolution of Italy from the fall of the Roman Empire to the present; and examines the difficulties Italy has faced in shaping its image as a nation-state over the past two centuries. Duggan combines the history of political, economic, social, and cultural evolution to highlight the transitions between different plans for nation-building devised by pragmatists and idealists. This revised edition expands on the previous chapters and also adds a chapter on Italy in the 21st century. Therefore, this book will be an ideal choice for readers who have a special preference for modern Italian history, especially those with a strong interest in fascism and the Mafia.
