    Fuori dall'abisso. Dal fascismo alla democrazia: storia del miracolo politico italiano 1940-1954

    Una nazione dilaniata da una guerra mondiale perduta, sepolta sotto le macerie di un regime crollato, abbandonata dal suo stesso re, piagata da una povertà dilagante e priva di qualsiasi credibilità internazionale. Questa era l'Italia del 1945, dopo il collasso finanziario, politico e persino morale che l'aveva investita. Dieci anni dopo, quello stesso Paese entrava a far parte delle Nazioni Unite, guidava da protagonista il processo di ricostruzione del continente e correva a grandi passi verso il 'miracolo' del boom economico. La stampa era libera, la vita politica fiorente e una vibrante società civile affrontava una modernizzazione impetuosa, realizzando una delle trasformazioni nazionali più impressionanti a cui la storia europea recente abbia mai assistito. Com'è stato possibile? Mark Gilbert risponde a questa domanda con un sapiente uso delle fonti e una prosa che sa catturare il lettore senza mai perdere il rigore dello storico. "Fuori dall'abisso" è un imponente affresco sociale ma soprattutto una straordinaria galleria di ritratti: grandi personaggi in un'epoca di grandi passioni e grandi ideali. Uomini al centro della Storia, quella dell'Italia e quella del mondo intero: da Togliatti e Secchia, in un Pci diviso tra aspirazione di progresso e fedeltà a Mosca; passando per Nenni e i socialisti, che riuscivano a vedere gli orrori del comunismo reale ma non a recidere il cordone ombelicale che li legava al mito dell'Urss, per arrivare ai partiti minori, con la loro vitalità e i piccoli egoismi. E infine, i protagonisti della Democrazia cristiana, primo fra tutti Alcide De Gasperi, una figura che ha avuto un ruolo centrale per la Repubblica e tuttavia è oggi spesso quasi dimenticata. La sua opera fu decisiva per permettere all'Italia di uscire dal buco nero del fascismo e della guerra, imboccando il cammino che dal totalitarismo la portò alla democrazia e allo sviluppo.

    Italy Reborn

    A major new account of the emergence of Italian democracy after the Second World WarThe rebirth of Italy after the Second World War is one of the most impressive political transformations in modern European history. In 1945, post-fascist Italy was devastated by war and its reputation in the international arena was nil. Yet by December 1955, when Italy was admitted to the United Nations, the nation had contested three acrimonious but free general elections, had a flourishing press, and was a leader in the re-building of Europe. The contrast with Fascism was stark.This book charts the descent of Italy into Fascism, the scale of the wartime disaster, the Italian resistance to Nazi occupation, and the establishment of the Republic in 1946. The Cold War divided, in 1947, the coalition of parties that had led the resistance to Fascism and Nazism.The book's final chapters deal with the consolidation of Italian democracy and with the statesmanship of Alcide De Gasperi, the premier from December 1945 to August 1953. The book argues, first, that De Gasperi deserves more credit than he has typically been accorded for Italy's post-war democratization and, second, that Italian democracy was constructed on a sound foundation - which is why it has been able to survive its many post-war crises.Largely based on contemporary Italian sources, the book is written in an engaging, lively way for both the general reader and specialists in Italian history.
