Book Synopsis
How is it that the nation, a relatively old form of community, has risen to such prominence in an era so strongly identified with the individual? The author argues that it is the inadequacy of our understanding of community - and especially the moral psychology that animates it - that has made this question so difficult to answer.

Trade Review
"A long-awaited and important book on the ethics of nationalism. The content is original and insightful, sustained throughout by Bernard Yack's addressing of issue after issue, both in theoretical and practical terms, and doing so with enormous background knowledge of political theorists, past and present, and - crucially - with a sense of social reality." (John A. Hall, McGill University)"
