Garibaldi : una grande vita in breve door Denis Mack Smith

Marinaio e soldato, appassionato agricoltore, profondo conoscitore di uomini, cultore stravagante di fisica, matematica, storia e poesia, il Garibaldi raccontato da Denis Mack Smith non è lo stilizzato eroe nazionale a cui siamo abituati. Questo ritratto anticonvenzionale ci restituisce un personaggio vivo e ricco di luci e di ombre al di là del mito ancora oggi diffuso.

Cavour door Dennis Mack Smith

Denis Mack Smith's biography of Camillo di Cavour the most comprehensive modern English-language biography of the Piedmontese politician who was a key figure in Italian unification. It provides a good overview of his political career, though one lacking in personal details and any larger historical context. As such it's recommended for anyone seeking to learn about Cavour largely in the absence of anything better.
