Product Information
For thousands of years flags have stood for our identities and ideas. We wave them, burn them, and march under their colors, And still, in the twenty-first 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 passions of the mob. In A Flag Worth Dying For, Tim Marshall, author of the New York Times bestseller Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Explain Everything About the World, returns to the arena of global affairs, combining keen analysis of current events with world history to reveal the power and politics of the symbols, old and new, that both unite us and divide us. In nine chapters covering America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin-America, international banners, and flags of terror, Marshall offers insights into the flags of more than eighty-five countries, among them key global superpowers as well as dozens of smaller nations, and shows how their hidden histories figure in the diplomatic relations and political movements of today's urgent headlines.

Reviews
"Bristling with historical trivia and commentary on current events, this entertaining survey of vexillology, the study of flags, examines the banners of more than eighty-five nations, as well as those of the Islamic State, the L.G.B.T.Q. community, and pirates." -- The New Yorker, "In this brisk, entertaining read, Marshall successfully answers a puzzling question: how can a simple piece of cloth come to mean so much? Marshall presents an informative survey of these highly visible symbols of national or international pride." -- Publishers Weekly, "Country by country the author considers the great diversity of the world's flags, serving up with offhand affection a lively text full of interesting anecdotes and telling details. A treasure vault for vexillologists, full of meaning beyond the hue and thread of the world's banners." -- Kirkus Reviews, "A must read for anyone wishing to grasp the meanings behind today's international affairs." -- Human Security Centre (UK), "Marshall oscillates between telling the story of the way flags unite us and the way they divide us. He is acutely aware that they often do both at the same time, and it is this tension that brings out his most illuminating writing." -- New York Times Book Review, "[Marshall] writes with the cool drollery that characterized the work of Christopher Hitchens or Simon Winchester. He tackles a topic that many people take seriously without taking himself seriously, and the result is a book that explains where many of the flags that capture the world's imagination come from and why." --USA Today, "Insightful and entertaining ... a truly fascinating book that feels all the more considered and urgent in today's world of Brexit, Trump, China and ISIS." -- Wanderlust magazine (UK), "Marshall has drawn on 25 years as a reporter in 40 countries to produce an engagingly written, veritable page-turner. Whether the topic is ethnic identity, Japanese imperialism, Panamanian shipping law or the defeat of Nazism, flags speak volumes about our human condition." -- The Jewish Chronicle, "A fascinating tour of the world's ensigns, their histories and meanings...a sobering lesson in just how silly we human beings can be." --Daily Mail (UK), "Marshall points out that we often forget the aggressive symbolism of established flags ... [they] are a quick, visual way of communicating loyalties, power and ideas." -- The Times (UK)
