Description

These essays focus on the two great themes of nation and revolution, and the third which links them: the state. Ranging from the extent to which nationalism can be a component of left-wing politics to the difference between bourgeois and socialist revolutions, the book concludes with an extended discussion of the different meanings history has for conservatives, radicals and Marxists.
