Originally published in 1945, this book examines the development of nationalism in Europe, primarily through the connections between language development and the growth of national feeling associated with them. Chadwick also suggests ways in which the British could work to prevent another European war through greater understanding of other cultures and changing Britain's imperialist mindset. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in European history, European linguistics or the rise of nationalism in pre-WWII Europe.
