Mazzini - Italian Nationalism

Source 1

"Insurrection by means of guerrilla bands is the true method of warfare for all nations desirous of emancipating themselves from a foreign yoke. This means of warfare supplies the want—inevitable at the commencement of an insurrection—of a regular army; it calls the greatest number of elements into the field, and yet may be sustained by the smallest number. It forms the military education of the people, and consecrates every foot of the native soil by the memory of some warlike deed."

Giuseppe Mazzini, 1831
