The flag is a country's national symbol and is far more than a mere
banner. It reflects that country's independence, the citizens, and
their social views. As such, a flag is treated with respect,
defended, and given a military salute. As so much is bound up in
the flag, it may also be ridiculed, defiled, and burned in protest.
As a symbol of the pride of the people, the flag is imbued with a
variety of emotions around the world. Many flags are remnants of
the often-turbulent history of nations destroyed. This revised and
expanded second edition features updated facts and flags for 223
nations and territories, many states within nations, and the flags
of international organizations, including the UN, the EU, and the
Red Cross. The historical background and significance of each flag
are recounted, along with explanations of its colors and symbols.
Informative and updated statistics also provide additional
information about the countries and nations flying these flags.
This resource book is for anyone with a passion for international
affairs or world history.
