    University of Chicago Press 2013; US$ 25.00

    The state of Israel is often spoken of as a haven for the Jewish people, a place rooted in the story of a nation dispersed, wandering the earth in search of their homeland.

  • Air and Sea Power in World War Iby Maryam Philpott

    I.B.Tauris 2013; US$ 44.00

    The Great War tore the fabric of Europe apart, killing over 35 million men and challenging the notion of heroism in war. Air and Sea Power in World War I focuses on the experience of World War I from the perspective of British pilots and sailors themselves, to demonstrate that the army-centric view of war studies has been too limited. The Royal Flying... more...

  • Nationalism and Ethnoregional Identities in Chinaby Safran William

    Taylor and Francis 2013; US$ 55.95

  • For Freedom Aloneby Edward J. Cowan

    Birlinn 2013; US$ 8.44

    The Declaration of Arbroath, 6 April, 1320, is one of the most remarkable documents to have been produced anywhere in medieval Europe.

Since 1998, the US Senate has claimed that the American Declaration of Independence is modeled upon... more...

  • Nationalismby Anthony D. Smith
