Description
“Cuoco’s classic account of the 1799 revolution and counter-revolution remains one of the most important historical texts written in Napoleonic Italy. With this translation, Haddock, Sabetti, and Gibbons have done a service to European intellectual history, political science, and the comparative analysis of revolutions.”
