Giuseppe Garibaldi, hero of the Italian Risorgimento, is one of history17 greatest, most
charismatic leaders.This is the first instalment of British historian GM Trevelyan17 epic, three
volume account of his life. The author tracks Garibaldi17 early activities in Italy and then his
dramatic career as a revolutionary in South America. In Brazil he joined the rebels known as the
Ragamuffins - and met his wife, Ana Maria Ribeiro da Silva. She joined him aboard his ship and
fought alongside him in battle. He returned with her to Italy and there led the great and daring
defence of the Roman Republic against the French. Hopelessly outnumbered, Garibaldi's men are
eventually slaughtered and the Republic overrun. But Garibaldi digs in to the bitter end and
miraculously escapes after all hope is truly lost. The closing chapters recount the death of Anita,
as she accompanies him on his flight from Rome. It is a story of romance, tragedy and heroism,
brilliantly told.George Macaulay Trevelyan was a historian of great fame in his lifetime, and The
Garibaldi Trilogy is considered his finest work. Readers of this thrilling first volume will want to
move onto the next two, in order to learn more about this extraordinary man17 life, and for the
exceptional quality of Trevelyan17 writing.16 Very few of the books which are classified as
historical novels are half as exciting17 11 Manchester Guardian16 The whole character of the
campaign is illustrated for us by Mr Trevelyan17 power of making even the lesser actors in it seem
alive and real, and by vivid descriptions of the scenes in which the story is laid, painted by one
who has himself followed with observant eyes the tracks of Garibaldi17 advance. History thus
written will appeal to the general reader as well as to the historian17 - Times Literary
Supplement'Trevelyan17 great work was his Garibaldi Trilogy, which established his reputation as
the outstanding literary historian of his generation. It depicted Garibaldi as a Carlylean hero - poet,
patriot, and man of action 11 whose inspired leadership created the Italian nation. For Trevelyan,
Garibaldi was the champion of freedom, progress, and tolerance, who vanquished the despotism,
reaction, and obscurantism of the Austrian empire and the Neapolitan monarchy. The books were
also notable for their vivid evocation of landscape, for their innovative use of documentary and oral
sources, and for their spirited accounts of battles and military campaigns17 11 historian David
Cannadine, from his GM Trevelyan: A Life in History16 What is perhaps most frequently forgotten,
or ignored, is the skill of his literary craftsmanship. Trevelyan was a born writer and a natural
storyteller and this, among historians, is a rare gift17 11 historian JH PlumbGeorge MacAulay
Trevelyan was born in England in 1876, into an aristocratic British family. He spent his life writing
and at various times held posts at the University of Cambridge. In retirement, he became
Chancellor of Durham University. He published numerous volumes of history, biography, essays
and memoir. He died in 1962, one of the greats of history scholarship.
