A Short History of Italy
Edited by H. Hearder and D. P. Waley
This history of Italy runs from pre-Roman times down to the
political crisis of i960. It is based on the history sections of the
Handbook first issued by the Naval Intelligence Division of
the Admiralty during the war and is a companion volume to the
successful Short Histories of France and Germany already pub-
lished. The original contributions by the late Miss G. M. Ady
and the late A. J. Whyte have been edited by Dr Waley and Dr
Hearder, and a final chapter has been added by Dr Hearder.

of foreign domination, first by Spain, then by Napoleon, until
the country became finally united in the nineteenth century;
and on the growth first of the radical, then of the fascist parties.
