Between the two world wars, thousands of European antifascists were
pushed to act by the political circumstances of the time. In that
context, the Spanish Civil War and the armed resistances during the
Second World War involved particularly large numbers of
transnational fighters. The need to fight fascism wherever it
presented itself was undoubtedly the main motivation behind these
fighters' decision to mobilise. Despite all this, however, not
enough attention has been paid to the fact that some of these
volunteers felt they were the last exponents of a tradition of
armed volunteering which, in their case, originated in the
nineteenth century. The capacity of war volunteering to endure and
persist over time has rarely been investigated in historiography.
The aim of this book is to reconstruct the radical and
transnational tradition of war volunteering connected to Giuseppe
Garibaldi's legacy in Southern Europe between the unification of
Italy (1861) and the end of the Second World War (1945). This book
seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of the long-term,
interconnected, and radical dimensions of the so called
Garibaldinism.
