Nationalismus und Kultur
por Rudolf Rocker
Rudolf Rocker (1873 Mainz–1958 New York), der „letzte ernsthafte politische Denker“, (Noam Chomsky) lebte von 1892 bis 1919 und von 1933 bis zu seinem Tode im Exil in Frankreich, England und den USA und wurde dort – als nichtjüdischer Deutscher – einer der einflußreichsten und bedeutendsten Figuren der jüdischen, aber auch der deutschen und der internationalen Arbeiterbewegung. Nationalismus und Kultur ist sein Hauptwerk.
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
