About this book

Questo libro è il racconto corale dei sogni, delle illusioni, delle contraddizioni di coloro che parteciparono al Risorgimento indossando un'uniforme. Una storia culturale e politica della professione di ufficiale nell'Ottocento italiano, raccontata attraverso le vite di tre uomini eccezionali. Salvatore Pianell, Enrico Cosenz, Cesare Magnani Ricotti. Tre figli del Secolo, tre borghesi, tre provinciali che attraverso la carriera delle armi diventano piú potenti dei duchi e dei principi che quella carriera avevano sempre considerato cosa propria. Tre percorsi simili eppure profondamente diversi, che si incontrano, si separano e si intrecciano, e attorno ai quali si affollano tanti altri attori di quella straordinaria vicenda politica, culturale e militare che fu il Risorgimento italiano. Amici e nemici, sognatori e grigi esecutori, geni e macellai. Da Giuseppe Garibaldi ai decrepiti generali borbonici che perdono un regno per incapacità e fanatismo. Dai nobili e tetragoni cavalieri della tavola rotonda sabauda che fanno di malavoglia il Grande Piemonte, ai figli dei piccoli borghesi che fanno l'Italia, o almeno ci provano.
