Groundbreaking biography of a prominent scholar and early leader of the Italian anti-Fascist resistance.
CHARLES KILLINGER is a professor of history at Valencia Community College.
"In a thoroughly documented and skillfully crafted portrait,
Killinger not only examines the major themes of Salvemini's life in
their historical context, but reveals a wealth of information
derived from archives in both Italy and the United States. In doing
so, he traces the forces responsible for shaping this complex
personality--intrepid and charismatic, but perplexing--and the
successes and failures of the political campaigns in which he
engaged. What emerges is a very human story, a life filled with
tragedy, conflict, and disappointment, but with success that the
author believes to have exerted important influences on
post-Fascist Italy."-Philip V. Cannistraro Distinguished Professor
of Italian American Studies City University of New York
