Description
Garibaldi and the Thousand, from 1909, forms the trilogy's middle book. Trevelyan recounts the bold 1860 landing of red-shirted men in Sicily. One thousand volunteers sail to take a kingdom held by an army.
Against steep odds, the Thousand win town after town by daring. Garibaldi's calm in crisis steadies men who should have failed fast. Trevelyan mixes a scholar's care with a poet's fire in the telling. He makes readers feel dust, heat, and hope on the march north. The campaign that made Italy reads here as pure, true adventure story. Trevelyan's maps and marches keep the daring drive clear throughout.
