In the twentieth century, Spain was never known as a stable country. "Basque Nationalism and Political Violence: The Ideological and Intellectual Origins of ETA" examines the nationalist violent struggles in Basque, a political party in Spain. Aggressive nationalism is regarded as the cause, and Watson discusses how the group came into being and power. Not focusing solely on Spain, he looks at what aggressive nationalism has brought to much of the world. "Basque Nationalism and Political Violence" is a must for those studying the sociology of nationalist movements.
