Nationalism

As Isaiah Berlin wrote of the original edition, "Kedourie's account of these ideas and their effect is exemplary: clear, learned and just."In a new introduction the author reflects upon the origins of the book and the relationship of his argument to contemporary nationalist conflicts.Kedourie, Elie is the author of 'Nationalism' with ISBN 9780631188858 and ISBN 0631188851.
