    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.

    Vexillology
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018*

What a better round the world guided tour than reading Tim Marshall's "A Flag Worth Dying For". 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.

    Good, brief overview of many different flags.
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2021*

I purchased this book to continue on with Tim Marshall's series.  I read Prisoners of Geography and absolutely loved it because it gave some relevant information about a few selected countries.  He went a little deeper while covering a smaller % of countries.  In this book, he took the opposite approach by spending a little time on a lot of flags including flags that do not represent countries.  It was an interesting quick read and I'll look forward to continuing the series soon!
