About This Item
New York, New York, USA: Simon & Schuster, 1993. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7. Simon & Schuster, 1993. Hardcover Book and Jacket in Fine Condition. An exploration of the fall of empires and rise of nations--and with them, of the modern nationalism which has become the most powerful political force in the contemporary world. Nationalism has both created nations and ruined them--Nazism, Communism, European colonial empires. The author contends, however, that it is rooted in the human need for a secure place, communal loyalty, individual identification. He describes modern attempts to substitute internationalism for nationalism--each of them broken, so far. A sobering and thought-provoking book. 256 pages with index. 9.5 x 6.4 inches. 1993, Simon & Schuster, New York, New York, USA
