The Life And Times Of Cavour V1 de William Roscoe Thayer
Given that it is antiquated, the writing style of the author is a bit dry and not easy to read, so expect that this will be a very slow read.It also suffers from praising Cavour too much and devoting excessive criticisms to the catholic church, especially the papacy and the jesuits, to the point of making insinuations bordering on absurdity.The book however did a great job of covering the diplomatic exchanges and correspondence between Cavour and other heads of state.

Is it totally necessary that great men have their detractors and be vilified during their lifetime?
Great nationalist unifier of Italy; met with Henry C. Carey (1859?).
On pages 45-46 of volume 1, Cavour is quoted commenting on the superiority of America to Europe as regards the dignity of all men.
