Synopsis

Garibaldi And Italian Unity by Lieut.-Colonel Chambers. Garibaldi And Italian Unity is a historical narrative of Giuseppe Garibaldi's campaigns and the Italian unification process from 1859 through 1863, describing Garibaldi's Lombardy campaign, the Sicily expedition, the conquest of Naples, the March on Rome, and the political machinations with Cavour, Mazzini, and the French involvement. The book includes chapters on the political parties in Italy, the Villa Franca peace, the cession of Nice and Savoy, the Aspromonte incident, the Naples' dictatorship, the annexation to Piedmont, and the eventual completion of the Italian nation under Victor Emmanuel. It blends military narrative, political analysis, and contemporary press commentary (including Times and Daily Telegraph references), emphasizing Garibaldi's leadership, popular appeal, and the tension between Garibaldi and Piedmont policymakers. The work is a primary-source style biography with a pro-Garibaldi perspective and reflects mid-19th-century British views of Italian unity and European diplomacy.
