About the book

The Fight for Freedom, Palermo 1860 recounts the dramatic campaign led by Giuseppe Garibaldi and his volunteers during the struggle for Italian unification. The capture of Palermo was one of the most important episodes of Garibaldi's famous Expedition of the Thousand. The narrative describes fierce street fighting, popular uprising and the collapse of Bourbon authority in Sicily. It captures the excitement and uncertainty of the Risorgimento, when nationalist movements sought to transform the fragmented Italian states into a unified nation.
