| Mazzini is often named as part of a plot with Albert Pike to start three World Wars. Mr. Mack's extrodinary biography indicates a disbelief that Mazzini was even a Mason.... SO THERE, conspiracy theorists! ~Ed King (Oh, but the book is really good even if you weren't looking for that particularly bit.) |
| Summary |
| This book by one of the most distinguished historians of Italy is the first modern biography in English of Giuseppe Mazzini, one of the leading figures in the political and intellectual world of the mid-nineteenth-century. Denis Mack Smith reexamines Mazzini`s ideological impact and portrays him as a vigorous proponent of nationalism, the pre-eminent figure in the struggle for Italian independence and unity, and a fascinating personality, whose ideas brought him into contact with Marx, Carlyle, Mill, and Bakunin. |
