Summary: For Love of Country???
Comment: This book is quite confusing! It goes in circles trying to define two concepts; nationalism and patriotism. By the time that you are finished you will have read through about every theory out there on the two themes...but it is as if everything is thrown at you. I have read this book for a Master's course and each one of us had a completely different take on the book. This book is for someone who has an solid knowledge of the formation of the nation-states in Europe. Also it would have brought the point home more if the author had provided translations of the german and italian texts found in the footnotes.

Summary: I've only read through the 68th page but...
Comment: I don't understand!! I am reading the spanish version and the footnotes are IN PORTUGUESE?? I don't see why they couldn't translate those! I mean, footnotes are supposed to be there to HELP you understand the book! I have to turn in an 8 page summary of this book and I don't understand it!
This isn't a book for someone who doesn't know the history of Europe; it has NOT been written for the general public! It's a very interesting subject matter but It's not clearly explained (at least not in my opinion). It goes through so many examples that one forgets what the author was talking about in the first place. I don't like it! *sighs*( It's good to be able to vent) (by the way, if anyone can help me understand it, I have to turn in my paper on Wed!) hehe! Thanks!
