Daniel Banks joins the show to talk about this writing and research into the logistics networks, particularly the maritime and naval networks, that helped Guiseppe Garibaldi succeed in this reunification of Italy in 1860. Daniel Banks is a postdoctoral fellow in Global History and Governance at the Scuola Superiore Meridionale in Naples, Italy. He is currently working on completing a book manuscript that shows how groups of political agitators used the Mediterranean Sea's business and transport networks to foment revolutions that transformed states and empires like Italy, Spain, France and French Algeria from the 1850s to the 1870s.
