In this much-lauded memoir, acclaimed for its blend of literary
elegance and political passion, Rossana Rossanda, a legendary
figure on the Italian left, reflects on a life of radical
commitment. Active as a communist militant in the Italian
Resistance against fascism during World War Two, Rossanda rose
rapidly in its aftermath, becoming editor of the Communist Party
weekly paper and a member of parliament. Initially a party
loyalist, she was critical of the party's conservatism in the face
of new radical movements and moved into opposition during the late
1960s. The breach widened after she and others publicly opposed the
Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, and were expelled in 1969. She
went on to create the influential daily il manifesto, which
continues to this day. Her unique experience enables her to
reconstruct that period with flair and authority. She paints a
revealing picture of fascism, communism, post-war reconstruction
and the revolts that shook Europe in the 1960s. In The Comrade from
Milan, one of the most influential intellectuals of the European
Left relives the storms of the twentieth century. Both cool-headed
and precise, Rossanda provides a rare insight into what it means to
be politically engaged.
