Out with Garibaldi - A story of the liberation of Italy by G. A. Henty THE invasion of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies by Garibaldi with a force of but a thousand irregular troops is one of the most romantic episodes ever recorded in military history. In many respects it rivals the conquest of Mexico by Cortez. The latter won, not by the greater bravery of his troops, but by their immense superiority in weapons and defensive armour. Upon the contrary, Garibaldi’s force were ill-armed and practically without artillery, and were opposed by an army of a hundred and twenty thousand men carrying the best weapons of the time, and possessing numerous and powerful artillery. In both cases the invaders were supported by a portion of the population who had been reduced to a state of servitude, and who joined them against their oppressors. There is another point of resemblance between these remarkable expeditions, inasmuch as the leaders of both were treated with the grossest ingratitude by the monarchs for whom they had gained such large acquisitions of territory.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Tortuous Syntax By John Petralia This is a work of fiction built around the true story of Garibaldi's epic Risorgimento battles against great odds. The book, drawing on other historical works for context and facts, tells the fictional story of young Frank Percival's quest to find and release his father and grandfather from Neapolitan jailers. It's not a bad story, but the writing is really over the top. Here's one example: four years later, Frank married, and his father settled upon his country estate, to which, since his return to England, he had seldom gone down, for, although his general health was good he never sufficiently recovered from the effects of his imprisonment to be strong enough again to take part in field sport. Got that?
