Under the Volcano - Revolution in a Sicilian Town - Hardback - 2013

A peasant revolt in Sicily is the starting point for a detailed, intimate account of the people who lived in the community: a fiercely proud local gentry and a British family, the largest landowners in the area. The story is used to examine Britains policy towards Europe in the nineteenth century and colonial rule overseas in the age of Empire.
