This book is ground-breaking in that it takes an under-theorised concept “ loyalty and explains it. It is innovative as it applies a new methodological approach “ a sociology of emotions framework and demonstrates that loyalty is an emotion. Further, the book connects macro-sociological events (such as war) to an actor's emotional state and reveals the role macro-emotions play in the life of the individual.
