The Italian Communist Party was once one of the most powerful and
vibrant parties of the West. In this detailed and probing work,
Lucio Magri, one of the towering intellectual figures of the
Italian left, assesses the causes for its demise. The PCI survived
almost a century of Italian history, from its founding in 1921 to
the partisan resistance, the turning point of Salerno in 1944 to
the de-Stalinization of 1956, the long '68 to the "historic
compromise," and to the opportunity - missed forever - of
democratic transformation. With rigor and passion, The Tailor of
Ulm merges an original and enlightening interpretation of Italian
communism with the experience of a militant "heretic" into a
riveting read - capable of broadening our insights into
contemporary Italy and the twentieth-century communist experience.
