Initially a party loyalist, she was critical of the party’s conservatism in the face of new radical movements and moved into opposition during the late 1960s. The breach widened after she and others publicly opposed the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, and were expelled in 1969. She went on to help found the influential paper \u003ci\u003eil manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e, which remains the most critical daily in Berlusconi's Italy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer unique experience enables her to reconstruct that period with flair and authority. She paints a revealing picture of fascism, communism, post-war reconstruction and the revolts that shook Europe in the 1960s. In \u003ci\u003eThe Comrade from Milan\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the most influential intellectuals of the European Left relives the storms of the twentieth century. Both cool-headed and precise, Rossanda provides a rare insight into what it once meant to be politically engaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRossana Rossanda\u003c\/b\u003e (1924–2020) was one of the founding editors of \u003ci\u003eil manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e.
