`Fair-mindedness can be refreshing, and in Lucy Riall's monograph,
a study that carefully builds to its last chapter on the weeklong
uprising in Palermo in 1866, it is. Along the way, Sicily and the
Unification of Italy includes balanced and well-informed
assessments of the literature on Sicilian politics in the nineteeth
century and on the early years of Italian rule. ... Riall's
conclusions, superbly set forth in a few final pages that use the
latest
findings ... study ... will prove valuable to all scholars of
modern Italy.'
Raymond Grew, Journal of Modern History, Vol 72, No 4, December
2000.
`fine study ... she uses an impressive array of secondary and
primary sources ... Throughout, Riall shows the complexity of the
issues involved and her study is an important and valuable
one.'
