Synopsis:

Hobsbawm's classic account, revised in the light of recent political upheavals.

Review: "...Hobsbawm's deft demystifications will provoke debate and provide good reading. Again." Eugen Weber, University of California at Los Angeles, Critical Review

"...a brilliant exploration into the shifting, evolving role of nations and nationalism in modern history, most importantly in Europe." Kirkus Reviews

"Appearing just when reform in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union is being threatened by emergent nationalism, Eric Hobsbawm's inquiry is particularly timely...succinct and masterly." Roy Porter, New Statesman and Society

"Hobsbawm, a grand master of comparative historical sociology, commands attention by his name alone. But this superb essay adds further luster to a reputation which really needs no further polish; he offers a lucid and succinct overview of the changing meanings of the idea of nationalism, and its impact upon the political world....The book sparkles with captivating insights about the intinerary of nation and state since 1780." The Review of Politics

"...a fascinating account of the history of nationalism and the modern nation." Gyorgy Csepeli, Nationalities Papers
