This book is about flags. However, flags are just an excuse to immerse yourself in the most interesting stories from all over the world.
Most flags are rather simple drawings. But if you know why this or that country chose a certain flag design, you most likely have a general idea of the history, geography and culture of that country.
For example, the star on the flag of the Democratic Republic of the Congo reminds us of what Arthur Conan Doyle called the greatest crime against humanity. The eagle on the flag of Mexico is about how the Aztecs sacrificed the daughter of the leader of a neighboring tribe to the gods. The stars on the flag of Tuvalu are about a surprising incident in the name of the country.
