Fiume Crisis

Discover the compelling narrative of the Fiume Crisis through the insightful lens of Dominique Kirchner Reill in her 2020 publication. This hardback edition, published by Harvard University Press, spans 312 pages and delves into the complexities of a nation emerging from the ashes of empire. Reill challenges the conventional tale of idealism that often overshadows the reality of post-WWI Fiume, a vibrant and multicultural city. She reveals that many supporters of the empire remained even after 1919, and explores how the rich stories of its cosmopolitan inhabitants have been overshadowed by the rise of nationalism. This thought-provoking book is essential for anyone interested in understanding the intricate dynamics of identity, culture, and politics in a pivotal historical context.
