In this book, 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.

This book had a lot of interesting facts, but I didn't get too excited about it. Maybe I'm just spoiled from reading the other two books in Marshall's Politics of Place series (shown here), which were outstanding.

And to think that all this time, I thought the orange beard meant that they were Irish.

I love history so this book suited me well. Pretty basic info but definitely worth reading as I feel not being able to identify national flags is an embarrassment many adults suffer from.

After reading the book 'Prisoners of Geography', I couldn't stop searching for more books by Tim Marshall and luckily this book was due to release. I got hold of the book the day it released and started reading it. There were a lot of details in the book, which we as normal citizens, tend to ignore about our flags. It was captivating and well written. It's a definitely must real book.

#TBRtemptation post 3! They've been around for thousands of years. We wave them, burn them, march to them, die for them. From the UN to the porch. They represent the high power and the mob. They unite us and divide us. In 9 chapters, the veteran journalist reveals the histories of flags and their various symbols through each region of the globe. I'm looking forward to this one! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
