Features: This book begins with the unification of Italy and extends to the eve of the World War. It is divided into twelve parts, mainly including: the integration of the nation and the start of the economy, economic life and moral life, foreign policy, the revival and transformation of thought, the prosperity of culture and the restlessness of the spirit, domestic policy and the Libyan War, Italy's neutrality and its entry into the World War, etc. The author holds contempt for the once-booming fascism and expresses disdain, which led to the book achieving great success upon its publication. The content of this book holds significant reference and research value. In this work, Croce sharply pointed out the influence of Anglo-American imperialism on Italian nationalism and fascism. However, he mistakenly criticized Italian socialists for placing ideals above their homeland before the World War and for advocating ideological detachment from the people.
