Bøger af Graham Darby

In this SECOND EDITION with extra documentary extracts Graham Darby describes the development of Italy from 1815, the Revolutions of !848, the role of the key figures in the unification process of 1859-60, the completion of that process and its aftermath. A special feature of this book is the critical evaluation of the historiography of the subject with particular reference to the concept of the Risorgimento.

This title highlights and explains the most important aspects of this complex conflict. It concentrates on the origins of the war, how it unfolded through its various episodes, why it lasted so long, how it came to end and what its consequences were. In addition, there is a full chapter dealing with the nature of the war, which looks at its effects on religion, military conduct, the economy and society.

Aims to bridge the gap between the standardized text book and the specialist survey. Each book provides a brief introduction or background to the subject, followed by a section of analysis focusing on the main themes and issues followed by an assessment.
