Known the world over as a symbol of the United Kingdom, the Union
Jack is an intricate construction based on the crosses of St
George, St Andrew and St Patrick. Nick Groom traces its long and
fascinating past, from the development of the Royal Standard and
seventeenth-century clashes over the precise balance of the English
and Scottish elements of the first Union Jack to the modern
controversies over the flag as a symbol of empire and its
exploitation by ultra-rightwing political groups. The Union Jack is
the first history of the icon used by everyone from the royalty to
the military, pop stars and celebrities.
