""Manin and the Defense of Venice"" is a historical book written by John Presland and published in 1911. The book narrates the story of Daniele Manin, a prominent figure in the Italian Risorgimento movement, and his role in leading the defense of Venice against the Austrian Empire during the Italian War of Independence in 1848-1849. The book provides a detailed account of the political and social context of Italy during the 19th century and the struggle for unification and independence from foreign powers. It also examines the key events and battles that took place during the siege of Venice, including the heroic resistance of the Venetian people and the eventual surrender of the city to the Austrians. Presland's work sheds light on the life and legacy of Manin, who is regarded as a national hero in Italy for his leadership and sacrifice in the defense of Venice. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and history enthusiasts interested in Italian history, the Risorgimento movement, and the struggle for independence and unification in Europe during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
