Description
Flags have been a powerful symbol of our hopes and dreams for thousands of years. In this engaging and insightful book, Tim Marshall explores the histories, power and politics behind the flags that unite us - and divide us.
From the USA to the UK, Europe to the Middle East, Asia to Africa, and Latin America, Marshall draws on his extensive global reporting experience to reveal the complex meanings and significance of flags in modern times.
With a sobering lesson in the human condition, this book offers a fascinating tour of the world's ensigns, their histories and meanings, and the ways in which they reflect our values, cultures and conflicts.
