In this "tour de force" (National Review), the leader of the National Conservatism movement argues that nationalism is the only realistic safeguard of liberty in the world today

Nationalism is the issue of our age. From Donald Trump's "America First" politics to Brexit to the rise of the right in Europe, events have forced a crucial debate: Is international government the path to human flourishing? Or will humankind be freer and happier in a world of independent self-governing nations?

In The Virtue of Nationalism, Yoram Hazony contends that a world of sovereign nations is the only option for those who care about personal and collective freedom. He demonstrates that, beginning in the sixteenth century, English, French, Dutch, and American Christians embraced the Old Testament's vision of national independence, a vision that eventually brought freedom to peoples from Poland and India to Israel and Ethiopia. International events since the book's original publication have made it more timely than ever. This updated paperback edition features a new preface and afterword by the author.

Yoram Hazony is president of the Herzl Institute in Jerusalem and director of the John Templeton Foundation's project in Jewish Philosophical Theology. His books include The Jewish State: The Struggle for Israel's Soul and The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture. He lives in Jerusalem.
