It is uncertain that I would have read a straightforward account of Garibaldi's retreat from Rome with Anita and his 'patriots' in 1849 but I really enjoyed experiencing the past and the present as the author and his partner follow in Garibaldi's footsteps. I learned so much about Garibaldi's determination, courage and strategic thinking during this difficult march with his loyal supporters alongside the Italian landscape, the people, their lives and the aches and pains of hiking.
