Overview
Giuseppe Garibaldi was praised for his military genius, his courage,
and his charisma. Known as the "Hero of Two Worlds," Garibaldi's
military prowess extended to the Americas, where he played a major role
in the Brazilian struggle for independence. During his fight for
Italian unification Garibaldi personally led an army of local untrained
rebels to victory in Palermo, Naples, and Sicily. His forces suffered
from lack of equipment, food, and money, and yet Garabaldi commanded
their fierce loyalty. Christopher Hibbert reveals how this iconic
figure earned the adulation of not only his fellow Italians, but people
across the globe.
