Anybody read 'Garibaldi invention of a hero by Lucy Riall'?

I am doing coursework on Italian Unification and my teacher has mentioned that this book is crucial to my question. In the essay you must include 10 primary and 6 secondary sources. My question is how far was geographical unity in 1859-70 due to Cavour? So in this essay you must use different historians opinions mixed with your own. Lucy Riall provides evidence on how Garibaldi was a myth so changes what we have learned about him. I have looked for the book in all of Birminghams libraries but have not managed to find it. So i was wondering if anybody had read it and can provide a few key quotes or summary about it so i can include it in my writing.

Thanks.
