More important, his meditation on the role of exiles proves such essential political categories as legitimacy, \u003cbr\u003enational loyalty, and opposition in the modern state. One test of any work of scholarship is whether it enhances our understanding of concepts that we have previously taken for granted. By this measure, Shain's book passes with flying colors.\"\u003cbr\u003e--- Michael R.
