Stanfords Adult Book of the Month September 2016 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. We have a special signed & numbered run of 150 Edward Stanford Collector’s Edition copies exclusive to Stanfords.
