?This is an excellent book, perhaps the best philosophical work that exists on patriotism. Each of the three authors is an accomplished philosopher, each has a distinctive perspective, and each presents and defends his views clearly and effectively?. The discussion will both encourage and assist readers to reach their own conclusions about whether patriotism should be strongly supported or decisively rejected.??Stephen Nathanson, , Northeastern University, author of Patriotism, Morality and Peace
