About this product
Product Information
A Civil War is a history of the wartime Italian Resistance, recounted by a historian who, as a young man, took part in the struggle against Mussolini's fascist Republic. Since its publication in Italy, Claudio Pavone's masterwork has become indispensable to anyone seeking to understand this period and its continuing importance for the nation's identity. Pavone casts a sober eye on his protagonists' ethical and ideological motivations. He uncovers a multilayered conflict, in which class antagonisms, patriotism and political ideals all played a part. A clear understanding of this complexity allows him to explain many details of the post-war transition, as well as the legacy of the Resistance for modern Italy. In addition to being a monumental work of scholarship, A Civil War is a folk history, capturing events, personalities and attitudes that were on the verge of slipping entirely out of recollection to the detriment of Italy's understanding of itself and its past.

Reviews
"Pavone's great work is among the few indisputable masterpieces of contemporary history. But more than this, it is a unique meditation on the passions and tensions that continue to swirl beneath the surface of modern politics." --Mark Mazower, Financial Times "Very few books change an entire perspective on a crucial period of history. Claudio Pavone's A Civil War is one of those books ... [This] edition of Pavone's masterpiece is something to be cherished." -- Times Literary Supplement "The most beautiful book written to date on the Italian Resistance." -- L'Unità "An essential book on the Resistance struggle." -- Corriere della Sera "The most important essay on the Resistance." -- La Stampa "An essential book--the best book on the Resistance to date - which changes the way we look at that phenomenon, engaging dispassionately with its key and controversial moments: the civil war, violence, ideology, the relationship with the allies." -- La Repubblica "Passionate and fascinating, well documented in the slightest detail, radical in its themes and solutions. And it is also, in some regards, definitive, the final end of an ideal historiographical tradition begun with Battaglia in his Storia della Resistenza Italiana in 1964." --Marco Revelli, L'Indice "There have not been, in the past few years, many books on history and politics that have sparked such a vast and heated debate as the one arising with the publication of A Civil War by Claudio Pavone." --Norberto Bobbio, author of The Future of Democracy From the Hardcover edition., "Pavone's great work is among the few indisputable masterpieces of contemporary history. But more than this, it is a unique meditation on the passions and tensions that continue to swirl beneath the surface of modern politics." --Mark Mazower, Financial Times "Very few books change an entire perspective on a crucial period of history. Claudio Pavone's A Civil War is one of those books ... [This] edition of Pavone's masterpiece is something to be cherished." -- Times Literary Supplement "Verso's decision to publish an integral English edition of Una guerra civile merits high praise." --Philip Cooke, Journal of Modern History "There have not been, in the past few years, many books on history and politics that have sparked such a vast and heated debate as the one arising with the publication of A Civil War by Claudio Pavone." --Norberto Bobbio, author of The Future of Democracy "The most beautiful book written to date on the Italian Resistance." -- L'Unità "An essential book on the Resistance struggle." -- Corriere della Sera "The most important essay on the Resistance." -- La Stampa "An essential book--the best book on the Resistance to date--which changes the way we look at that phenomenon, engaging dispassionately with its key and controversial moments: the civil war, violence, ideology, the relationship with the allies." -- La Repubblica "Passionate and fascinating, well documented in the slightest detail, radical in its themes and solutions.

L'Unità 'There have not been many books on history and politics in the past few years that have sparked such a vast and heated debate as the one arising with the publication of A Civil War.' Norberto Bobbio, author of The Future of Democracy 'Pavone's study of the struggle between the Resistance and the Fascist Republican regime, A Civil War, has provided the broad interpretive framework for much recent scholarship.' American Historical Review 'The most important essay on the Resistance.' La Stampa 'An essential book on the struggles of the Resistance.' Corriere della Sera 'An essential book - the best book on the Resistance to date - one that revitalizes the way we look at this phenomenon, engaging dispassionately with its defining controversial aspects: the civil war, violence, ideology and the relationship between the Resistance and the Allies.' Alberto De Bernardi, L a Repubblica

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
