"Modern Italy's Founding Fathers offers a fresh perspective on the genesis of the Italian Republic as viewed through the efforts of its three most influential leaders: Christian Democrat Alcide De Gasperi, Socialist Pietro Nenni andCommunist Palmiro Togliatti. In concise, accessible prose, this work demonstrates how De Gasperi--the Republic's inaugural prime minister from 1945 to 1953--and his fellow statesmen's shared experience of Fascist oppression, belief in popular sovereignty, and ability to compromise despite deep ideological differences, enabled the creation of Italy's post-war republic. This is the first collective biography in English to examine the genesis of the Italian Republic, commencingwith the overthrow of Mussolini in 1943 and concluding with De Gasperi's death in 1954. Drawing on the personal papers, speeches and writings of the three protagonists, on governmental and party archives, and on significant new Italian secondary scholarship, Steven F. White demonstrates how these leaders forged political practices and customs which continue to define Italian parliamentary life to the present day. Examining the interplay of personalities, leadership styles, ideas and political context, this study is a vital text for any student of modern Italy and, more broadly, of Cold War Europe"--
