Thorough Treatment of a Fascinating Topic

This book is a gem. Frank details how nationalism in the marketplace has been bought, sold and manipulated by interested parties over the course of American history. Yet her approach is even-handed, thought-provoking, and most importantly, solidly written with a stlye you just can't put down. Her facts are meticulously referenced, and her storytelling entertaining. I highly recommend the text. Get it from the library if need be!
