This book explores and explains how Italy thought and fought its way to an unstable national unity by 1871. The enquiries examine the key political ideas of the period and the roles of key individuals - who include some of the most charismatic politicians in nineteenth century Europe - while also reflecting upon broader issues of nationalism and what makes a nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeb-based support includes:\u003cbr\u003e- lesson planning tools and guidance for teachers available from the SHP website http:\/\/www.schoolshistoryproject.org.uk\/Publishing\/BooksSHP\/BooksALvlEHS.html\u003cbr\u003e- eBooks for whole class teaching or individual student reading available from eBook retailers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hodder Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184237756656,"sku":"9781444178760","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781444178760_p0.jpg?v=1763815071","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781444178760","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
