When you see your nation`s flag fluttering in the breeze, what do you feel? For thousands of years flags have represented our hopes & dreams. We wave them. Burn them. March under their colours. & 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 & the USA, to the terrifying rise of Islamic State, the world is a confusing place right now & we need to understand the symbols, old & new, that people are rallying round. In nine chapters (covering the USA, UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin America, international flags & flags of terror), Tim Marshall draws on more than twenty-five years of global reporting experience to reveal the histories, the power & the politics of the symbols that unite us
- & divide us.

The nation of Pakistan was born out of the trauma of Partition from India in 1947. Its cricket team evolved in the chaotic aftermath. Initially unrecognised, underfunded & weak, Pakistan`s team grew to become a major force in world cricket. Since the early days of the Raj, cricket has been entwined with national identity & Pakistan`s successes helped to define its status in the world. Defiant in defence, irresistible in attack, players such as A.H. Kardar, Fazal Mahmood, Wasim Akram & Imran Khan awed their contemporaries & inspired their successors. The story of Pakistan cricket is filled with triumph & tragedy. In recent years, it has been threatened by the same problems affecting Pakistan itself: fallout from the `war on terror`, sectarian violence, corruption, crises in health & education, & a shortage of effective leaders. For twenty years, Pakistan cricket has been stained by the scandalous behaviour of the players involved in match-fixing. Since 2009, the fear of violence has driven Pakistan`s international cricket into exile. No one knows when it will return home. But Peter Oborne`s narrative is also full of hope. For all its troubles, cricket gives all Pakistanis a chance to excel & express themselves, a sense of identity & a cause for pride in their country. Packed with first-hand recollections, & digging deep into political, social & cultural history, Wounded Tiger is a major study of sport & nationhood. ...

A family story of blood & memory & the haunting power of the past. After nearly three decades reporting conflict from all over the world for the BBC, Fergal Keane has gone home to Ireland to tell a story that lies at the root of his fascination with war. It is a family story of war & love, & how the ghosts of the past return to shape the present. Wounds is a powerful memoir about Irish people who found themselves caught up in the revolution that followed the 1916 Rising, & in the pitiless violence of civil war in north Kerry after the British left in 1922. It is the story of Keane`s grandmother Hannah Purtill, her brother Mick & his friend Con Brosnan, & how they & their neighbours took up guns to fight the British Empire & create an independent Irel&. & it is the story of another Irishman, Tobias O` Sullivan, who fought against them as a policeman because he believed it was his duty to uphold the law of his country. Many thousands of people took part in the War of Independence & the Civil War that followed. Whatever side they chose, all were changed in some way by the costs of violence. Keane uses the experiences of his ancestral homeland in north Kerry to examine why people will kill for a cause & how the act of killing reverberates through the generations. ...
