Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Type: Hardback First Printing of First Edition. . Hardcover Book and Dust Jacket in Very Good Condition. In the wake of a massive corruption scandal called "Tangentopoli", Italy faces shrugging off a thousand year tradition of political corruption. The rigid party politics for four decades was shattered by corruption and the end of communism. When communism collapsed, the Italian State collapsed with it. Matt Frei explores how Tangentopoli came to be built--and along the way discovers what makes Italians Italian. He has captured and recounted the ineffable qualities that make Italy and her people what they are, with a riveting account of eccentric characters and improbable events, all of them true. And it is an outstanding account of what happens when a people and their government part company. Bound in gray half cloth w/silver titles, ivory boards, clean, upper and lower edges of panels rubbed, top edge of text block lightly foxed. Tight and solid binding. Front end paper and flyleaf have a one inch wrinkle on the fore edge of the pages, otherwise internals clean and unmarked, no creases. Clean, unmarked, unclipped jacket is lightly ruffled around spine ends and nearby edges. 273 pages. 9.5 x 6.25 inches. Time Books/Random House, USA 1995. Seller Inventory # 021310
