History as the Story of Liberty
Benedetto Croce () was an Italian idealist philosopher, and occasional politician. He also wrote History: its theory and practice. He wrote in the Foreword to this book, "I do not wish to offer this book in replacement of the previous book, but only to add new considerations born of my further studies and stimulated by new experience of life.
