As the book's title implies, this is a concise history of Italy starting from the fall of Rome to the present day. The book is too concise on Italy's history before the 19th century but does provide a good, quick overview. The book is heavily weighted to the economic history of Italy and provides a many charts that illustrate the economics. Unfortunately, the Kindle edition makes these charts very difficult to read. ( ) 2626 A Concise History of Italy, by Christopher Duggan (read 14 Jul 1994) I found this book exceptionally rewarding. maybe because I have not read a lot of Italian history. The book covers the period 1860 to the present more thoroughly than the prior time, but I found all periods covered exceptionally attention-holding. Italy has had a troubled time, and it today has political and crime problems of horrendous proportions. The book has nine chapters. Chapter 7, entitled "Giolotti, the First World War, and the Approach of Fascism" had an approach (1900 to 1922) which was new to me. I should read more Italian history. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Since its formation in 1861, Italy has struggled to develop an effective political system and a secure sense of national identity. This new edition of Christopher Duggan's acclaimed introduction charts the country's history from the fall of the Roman Empire in the west to the present day and surveys the difficulties Italy has faced during the last two centuries in forging a nation state. Duggan successfully weaves together political, economic, social and cultural history, and stresses the alternation between materialist and idealist programmes for forging a nation state. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to offer increased coverage of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Italy, as well as a new section devoted to Italy in the twenty-first century. With a new, extensive bibliographical essay and a detailed chronology, this is the ideal resource for those seeking an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to Italian history.
