This work considers why this is still the case, and in looking at such a complex character, sheds light on the nature of political leadership, the problems of historical reputation, the reliability of sources and the essence and meaning of the twentieth century itself.

Will Fowler's Latin America 1800-2000 faces the challenge squarely and with success". Journal of Latin American Studies Paperback - ISBN: 9780340958735 - £14.99 - April 2008 - pp. 192 Modern Italy in Historical Perspective A sense of failure pervades Italian history: the failure of the Liberal State after Unification to democratise, mobilise and modernise Italian politics, economy and society; the rise of Fascism as a reflection of these shortcomings; the problems of the post-war Republic, tainted by corruption, organised crime and terrorism. The notion has arisen of Italy as a deviant nation, unable or unwilling to follow the 'normal' path of state development. These perceptions are the stuff of historical debate, and it is with the ebb and flow of interpretation that this study is principally concerned. In each of the three sections - Liberal Italy, Fascist Italy and Italy from the Occupation until the end of the 'First' Republic Carter describes and evaluates the historiographical contours. The politics, economic developments and society and culture of each period are thoroughly analysed, and an overview of recent research into hitherto neglected areas of study, such as gender, popular culture, and sport, is also included. Paperback - ISBN: 9780340759011 - £18.99 - November 2008 State and Society A vigorous interpretation of political and social developments in Britain since the late-Victorian era, this is the first textbook on modern British history to offer history and politics students a full assessment of Tony Blair and his legacy.
