Summary: The book aims to be an original contribution to the literature of nationalism and political theory. The central argument is that nationalism is a synthetic ideology fabricated by the ruling classes out of certain pre-existing ideologies in order to perpetuate societal stratification and prompt their own class interests. Relentless propaganda is used for this purpose. The masses are indoctrinated into the ideology on account of the insecurity and dependency generated by stratified societal structures. This general theory of nationalism, the author argues, applies to capitalist, socialist and Third World societies.
