Garibaldi: Hero of Italian Unification
Praise forGaribaldi: "...an admirable piece of work.  Besides giving us a vivid account of Garibaldi's successes and misfortunes, it supplies a dramatic picture of his personality.  Mr. Hibbert's treatment of his subject, though never unsympathetic, is distinguised thorugh its realism and candour." - Peter Quennell, author ofVladimir Nabokov: A Tribute “Hibbert is a remarkably prolific popular historian, who can take on almost anything, from Dickens to General Wolfe, from Agincourt to Garibaldi.” – The Observer“A vivid biography of the hero of making modern Italy.” – The Times (London) on GaribaldiPraise for Christopher Hibbert: "The writing of history is an exercise in instruction; but that is no reason why it should not also be an exercise in rhetoric, for there is avoluptasto the texture of history that is best conveyed by good writing. Gibbon understood this, so did Macaulay. And so does Christopher Hibbert."
