Emilio Lussu emerged from World War I as a key figure in Sardinian and national politics. In a political career that spanned more than half a century, he served as a deputy in Parliament before the Fascists rose to power and became one of the most charismatic and outspoken opponents of the regime; his political activities also included stints as a minister and senator. Lussu's reputation as a writer is founded principally on two books written and first published during his exile by the Fascists: Marcia su Roma e dintorni: Il fascismo visto da vicino (The March on Rome and Thereabouts: Fascism Seen Up Close, 1931; translated as Enter Mussolini: Observations and Adventures of an Anti-Fascist, 1936), a personal account of the political events of 1919 to 1929 in Italy, and Un anno sull'Altipiano (A Year on the Asiago Plateau, 1938; translated as Sardinian Brigade, 1939), his narrative about one of the four years he spent fighting on the Austrian front during World War I.
