Why do people love their country, and should they? Clarence Reidenbach takes patriotism apart as coolly as a chemist: the impulses of attachment and antipathy that feed it, the deliberate and spontaneous habituation that trains it, and a final weighing of its ethical worth. A study written when the question was deadly current. Test your loyalties against the analysis.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
