Remember This

D. E. Mungello is the grandson of Italian immigrants and a prominent historian. He is the author of nine books and has devoted much of the last fifteen years to researching and writing this memoir of his immigrant family.

Remember This is a sweeping saga of America in the 20th Century as seen through the lives of an immigrant family of ambition and character who let their dreams and their passions take them to the heights and at times close to the depths. It's also the well told, paradigmatic story of the author who found himself inside several dissident movements of the '60's and 70's and how he survived to make himself a family.
