Nationalism and Culture
por Rudolf Rocker
Nationalism and Culture is a detailed and scholarly study of the development of nationalism and the changes in human cultures from the dawn of history to the present day and an analysis of the relations of these to one another. It tells the story of the growth of the State and the other institutions of authority and their influence on life and manners, on architecture and art, on literature and thought.
Heavy, but well worth a read

For context: Rudolf Rocker was a German anarchist, and this book was published shortly after he fled the Third Reich to live in London. Rocker rose to popularity especially in the Jewish-anarchist scene in London
Rocker writes very passionately and his arguments are full of energy, at its best this book echoed off the walls as I read it. It goes quite far back for an investigation of the development of nationalism in Germany and elsewhere, and it looks almost exclusively at English, French and German history (whilst also looking at Italy and Spain). I found it often enlightening
This was one of the first nonfiction books I read, I was fairly young when I read it. In general it taught me a lot about history (I didn't know who Machiavelli was, when I picked it up) and about writing
