Excerpt from The Holocaust, Italy's Struggle With the Hapsburg The authoress of this book observes with truth that the lives and characters of the great men who accomplished the delivery of Italy from those who oppressed it a century ago, the Hapsburgs of Austria in the north, the Bourbons of Naples in the south, the Papal Government and some petty princes in the central parts of the peninsula, are too little known in France. This is true as respects England and America also. Among us in the great free English-speaking countries there is less knowledge than there ought to be of these glorious champions of Liberty and Nationality. We who are now admiring the high spirit with which the Italian people have thrown themselves into this war, the gallantry with which Italian troops have fought beside ours for Right and Justice, for freedom and for human progress, will do well to read the story of those who made modern Italy, and left to the present generation shining examples of courage and devotion. The era which Italians call by the name of the Risorgimento, the uprising or resurrection of a great nation from the servitude imposed upon it by foreign arms - for it was the power of Austria which maintained all the petty tyrants - was the heroic age of modern Italy. The men who led the movement were brilliant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
