Handsome and flamboyant, Italian revolutionary hero Giuseppe Garibaldi was a popular figure in life and became a cult figure after his death in 1882. This fascinating book is the first to examine how Garibaldi and others contributed to the making of his cult and to assess how the Garibaldi myth has affected national politics not only in Italy but around the world.
