## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Five Stars
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in India on 29 October 2017*

A good book on Vexillology and Geopolitics.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Big-headed American drivel
  

*by O***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2019*

A complete let down after the much better "Prisoners of Geography" by the same author. This outing however delves into the worst self-absorbing arrogance and ignorance that is prevalent in many corners of the US today. If you can stomach the author wildly describing his country as the "greatest nation on earth" and "best country that ever existed" without reaching for a bucket to spew into you will do well. Never was a book easier to put down!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Occasionally interesting, occasionally boring
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2019*

It’s ok. This book is nowhere near as interesting as Marshall’s previous book “Prisoners of Geography”. Some chapters are fairly insightful - for example the chapter about the flags in use in the United States, and how some groups have hijacked some flags. However, this chapter contains mind numbingly uninteresting dissections over inane details of some flags. This unfortunately happens in every chapter.The chapter about European flags is dull and disjointed. After an uninteresting look over some minor detail of some European flag, the next paragraph will clumsily move onto another country’s flag in what can only be described as the opposite of a segue. It also does not cover all European flags, just a seemingly random subset.This chapter also contains a few irritating careless statements, such as “the rise of Islam in Europe” and “mass migration in Europe”. Statements of this weight demand backing up with some basic numbers - something that Marshall neglects to do. The fact that they are not can be taken as a reflection of the paranoia that we see here in Europe.There are some interesting historical tidbits that can be taken away from the text - for example the British and the French involvement in the Arab world and it’s borders. It’s worth noting that Mauritania fails to be recognised as an arab state by Marshal, but Turkey is for some reason.On the whole, this book is ok but could be a lot more concise. It serves up some good nuggets of historical fact, but much of this is diluted by uninteresting discussions over small flag details. I was hoping it would be a look into the people that stand behind flags, and what they mean for them, but it wasn't.
