"The Virtue of Nationalism is a brilliant achievement, at once
learned and sharp, philosophical and politically engaged."--Jewish
Review of Books
"[Hazony] cogently argues in the book that anyone who values his
freedom should reject universalism and fight for a future of
nations... [an] excellent book."--City Journal
"A concise, thoughtful, strongly put case that resurgent
nationalism is reason not for concern but for relief."--New York
Sun
"A new book that will become a classic.... Yoram Hazony has written
a magnificent affirmation of democratic nationalism and
sovereignty. The book is a tour de force that has the potential to
significantly shape the debate between the supporters of
supranational globalism and those of national-state
democracy."--National Review
"A thought-provoking book."--Publishers Weekly
"Hazony is both erudite and well reasoned."--American
Conservative
"Hazony presents a vigorous case for nationalism and its
virtues."--National Interest
"Important.... Hazony continues to do a service in reviving the
theory of nationalism at a moment when its empirical manifestations
have become impossible to ignore. He also presents a model of
engaged political philosophy--learned yet accessible, spirited but
not excessively hostile."--Modern Age
"In an era when the word 'nationalism' falls on many ears as an
insult and condemnation, Yoram Hazony recalls the ancient,
essential, and even noble origins of the nation. I expect and hope
this provocative and deeply learned book will incite fierce debate,
but the depth and persuasiveness of its defense of the virtue of
nations will demand engagement by every reader concerned with
serious political ideas. Hazony masterfully blends a deep grasp of
history, political philosophy, theology, and common sense with
originality and clarity in what will be one of the most-discussed
books of this dawning new age of the nation."--Patrick Deneen,
professor of political science, University of Notre Dame, and
author of Why Liberalism Failed
"In this engaging and deeply learned book, Yoram Hazony explores
the religious and historical roots of nationalism, illuminates its
modern accomplishments, and thereby offers a uniquely insightful
guide to the forces transforming the politics of the West."--Yuval
Levin, editor of National Affairs and author of The Fractured
Republic
"One of the most important books on one of the most important
controversies of our time."--New Criterion
"The catastrophic failure of the liberal program opens the way for
a new kind of political thinking, and Hazony offers a timely
contribution to the debate."--Tablet
"To cosmopolitans on the right and left, the division of the world
into sovereign nation-states is a lamentable fact we must strive to
overcome. In The Virtue of Nationalism, Yoram Hazony demonstrates
that it is in fact essential to human flourishing."--Reihan Salam,
executive editor, National Review
"Yoram Hazony's The Virtue of Nationalism belongs among the great
works of political theory. Hazony presents a radical, even
dangerous thesis: what if nationalism is not the scourge that
today's left views it as, but rather the best hope humanity has?
The Virtue of Nationalism mounts a necessary challenge to the
liberal order of the day."--Batya Ungar-Sargon, opinion editor of
The Forward
"Yoram Hazony's book is profound as well as accessible and
well-crafted, reflecting years of inquiry and reflection into a
subject of unparalleled importance. Political figures, scholars,
and the broader public will have to think carefully about this
remarkable book."--Natan Sharansky, author of The Case for
Democracy and Defending Identity
