An Alliance across the Alps explains who the Waldensians are, how they formed a Protestant 'Israel of the Alps' in a tiny enclave and, with British help, how they sought to become an evangelical church for Italy. This study concentrates on the special relationship between the Waldensians and British evangelicals in Victorian times, the British cultural love affair with Italy and the contemporary witness and service in a dramatically changing Italy.
