Inspired by the lingering radical visions of 1848 and supported by elements of the First International of Marx and Bakunin, several thousand men (and women) came not only from neighbouring Spain, Italy, and Belgium but from Germany itself, as well as the Mediterranean societies and as far as the Americas to fight for a \"universal republic\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGaribaldi and his volunteers faced enemies ultimately more powerful than the Prussian-led German Confederation. The French imperial interests that had started the war remained an ultimately dominant force in the republic and their hostility to \"red republicanism\" was evident even before their bloody repression of the Paris Commune. They shaped the histories of the war, the international volunteers and the French who fought alongside them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis study explores the politics of constructing historical memory to challenge that narrative and offers a different assessment of contemporary before its translations into the new language of anarchism and socialism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Lause\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1036139425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781036139421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pen and Sword History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Mark Lause","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47931062092031,"sku":"9781036139421","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdf5c706-2bbc-4cb9-9a02-96e307b681c4.jpg?v=1766346186","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/giuseppe-garibaldi-the-army-mark-lause-9781036139421","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
