Reviews

'...invaluable to anyone wishing to understand the vicissitudes of the Italian Communist Party in face of transformations of the modern world and the collapse of Communism.' Professor Donald Sassoon, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London, UK 'In an attempt to retrace the crisis and transformation of the Italian Communist Party (PCI) into the Democratic party of the left, this essay sets it into the social, economic and especially political context - the crisis of the Italian political system - at the time, rejecting simplistic explanations.' The International Spectator 'This is a stimulating contribution to the debate on the PCI/PDS...' Political Studies '...well-argued, well-researched and copiously footnoted.' The Voice of the Turtle 'The author has used an impressive range of primary sources...' South European Society & Politics
