History of Contemporary Italy Society and Politics, 1943-1988

From a war-torn and poverty-stricken country, regional and predominantly agrarian, to the success story of recent years, the late 20th Century has witnessed Italy's most profound economic, social, and demographic changes in its history. Yet the other recurrent theme of the period has been the overwhelming need for political reform--and the repeated failure to achieve it. Professor Ginsborg's authoritative work--the first to combine social and political perspectives--is concerned with both the tremendous achievements of contemporary Italy and "the continuities of its history that have not been easily set aside."Ginsborg, Paul is the author of 'History of Contemporary Italy Society and Politics, 1943-1988', published 2003 under ISBN 9781403961532 and ISBN 1403961530.
