A meticulously detailed and engaging account.
*ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW*

Alano writes with clarity and enthusiasm that makes this biography engaging and an enjoyable read.
*JOURNAL OF MODERN HISTORY*

This thorough book about one woman's struggle against a brutal regime keeps the memory alive. CANADIAN JOURNAL OF HISTORY Ada Gobetti entered politics in 1918 by joining the staff of Piero Gobetti's radical journal, Energie Nove, and her life was lived within words and ideas. By 1943, she had joined the armed resistance, but her role remained that of an intellectual, not a soldier. Her concerns, from the very beginning, had been not so much about herself but about Italy's and Europe's democratic future.
