The book examines the complex web of events, people, and sentiments that contributed to the unification of Italy, a process often marred by struggle and strife. It focuses on the pivotal factors leading to Italian unity and the social movements surrounding the struggle for independence, while highlighting the emotional and patriotic fervor that powered the movement. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage for Italy's journey towards liberation, tracing the evolution of national sentiment from historical figures like Dante and Machiavelli to contemporary protagonists of the Risorgimento.
