Colorful and rich in detail, Marshall gives us brief (and occasionally not so brief) histories of how flags came into being for many nations.Vexillology, or the study of flags, begins with our own Stars and Stripes. While, as an American, this chapter I know best, there were still facts presented that added to my knowledge. A particular treat in the first couple of chapters is the author's sense of humor in his narration. As he moves through Europe through the Middle East and to Asia, Marshall's humor lessens as the culture of war becomes more dramatic in assessing the development of flags in these areas. Geographically, we go south of the equator to visit Africa and South America. What strikes me most are the similarities of flags in certain regions...i.e. Scandanavia and Central America. Finally, Marshall ends up with a chapter called, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" which features the Jolly Roger, the Olympics and the Rainbow Flag.Nicely ordered in accompaniment to the story are all the flags that the author discusses. It's a nice reference point to an unusual but important book. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐ Very inaccurate! *by C***P on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2020* Wow. Just finished this book and I am amazed that it was even published. There is a lot of inaccurate info here. I think one of the biggest mistakes was when he explained what the 3 colors of the Italian flag made us think of. Tomato, mozzarela and avocado!!! Yess avocado!!!!! Are you sure you are talking about the italian flag and not the mexican flag? Avocados are from Mexico. There is absolutely no Italian dish that includes avocado. The green should be basil or olives but not avocados. I don’t know what country this guy is from that has had avocado in their italian food. And actually even tomatoes are from Mexico and Central America. They were brought into Europe in the 1500s and only then did the Italians start using it in their dishes. The word tomato comes from the aztec word “tomatl”. Only truth in that phrase is the mozzarella. I think he needs to actually go to italy and see what real Italian food is like. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Flag images are missing... *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2019* Very interesting to read. However there are only a handful of black/white images of the flags. If an exotic flag is described over 5 pages, at least include an image so I don't have to google it... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/44312109-a-flag-worth-dying-for-the-power-and-politics-national](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/44312109-a-flag-worth-dying-for-the-power-and-politics-national) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
