When you see your nation's flag fluttering in the breeze, what do
you feel? For thousands of years flags have represented our hopes
and dreams. We wave them. Burn them. March under their colours. And
still, in the 21st century, we die for them. Flags fly at the UN,
on the Arab street, from front porches in Texas. They represent the
politics of high power as well as the politics of the mob. From the
renewed sense of nationalism in China, to troubled identities in
Europe and the USA, to the terrifying rise of Islamic State, the
world is a confusing place right now and we need to understand the
symbols, old and new, that people are rallying round. In nine
chapters (covering the USA, UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa,
Latin America, international flags and flags of terror), Tim
Marshall draws on more than twenty-five years of global reporting
experience to reveal the histories, the power and the politics of
the symbols that unite us - and divide us.
