"This splendid book demonstrates that the insistence on each nation having its own state came much later than classical theories of nationalism realize. The range of cases and command of the historical record is deeply impressive, and the discussions of Czartoryski and Mazzini superb—and the book is a joy to read, really clever, occasionally quirky, at times amusing but always thoughtful."John A. Hall, Emeritus James McGill Professor of Sociology at McGill University, Canada
