Review: the best - Don't go to Sicily without reading this first. I literally corrected 2 guides while I was there. I never had an experience while traveling as rich as I did in Sicily after reading this book. It's a must read.
Review: Makes good reading..... - I had only a very superficial knowledge of Sicily's history. Mr. Norwich's book enlightened me and gave some very interesting insight of such a complex subject.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the best

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes good reading.....
*by D***F on October 14, 2016*

I had only a very superficial knowledge of Sicily's history. Mr. Norwich's book enlightened me and gave some very interesting insight of such a complex subject.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice short history of Sicily, with emphasis on individual personalities
*by P***N on June 26, 2025*

The author gives a nice, clear and easily readable overview of the rich and turbulent history of Sicily. I read both this book and Benjamin's "Sicily: Three Thousand Years..." before my trip there. Both are similarly commendable, but they take markedly different approaches. Norwich, in his typical way, is mainly interested in the personalities of the people who governed the land. In 3000 years there were plenty of fascinating personalities. Norwich does a great job of discussing the Norman kings and Giuseppe Garibaldi, for example. But if you want to understand the various factors other than personality, e.g., economic, climatic, geographic, agricultural, then Benjamin's book is better. It's no coincidence that Benjamin's book is loaded with maps and even includes a few statistical tables but has zero pictures, whereas Norwich's book includes numerous nice color photos of historically important artwork, such as a wonderful mosaic of one of the Norman kings of Sicily. Benjamin also goes into the last two centuries of Sicilian history (the mafia era) in far more depth than Norwich. But overall, Norwich's telling is equally worthwhile, in it's own way.
