'A sparkling tour through the stories of the symbols we know so well' - Tim Marshall Starting with flags that we know, this captivating history explains the origins and hidden meanings of flags, taking a chatty but always entertaining path through this universal subject. Each chapter starts with a well-known flag and shows how that flag led to a number of other flags - so, for example, how the French tricolor led to the red, white and green tricolor of Italy, and then to a host of other tricolors in different parts of the world. Many of the over 200 colour illustrations feature alternative versions of existing flags - the flags that might have been - such as the red Canadian maple leaf between two bands of blue, representing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This entertaining and very likeable history of flags was written by Ukrainian businessman and ex-cabinet minister Dmytro Dubilet and first published in Ukrainian six months before the start of the Ukrainian-Russian war.

《前景》雜誌（Prospect Magazine），當月新書推薦。 在烏俄戰爭開始前6個月，首次以烏克蘭語出版。 ◎ 法國三色旗，何以激勵無數革命分子？進而成為主權獨立國家的標誌。 ◎ 國旗怎麼掛有關係，波蘭國旗掛反變印尼，菲律賓國旗掛反，「平日」變「戰時」。 ◎ 「不是一個國」也有國旗？南極。而且是英國旗幟研究所首席專家設計的。 ◎ 荷蘭的國旗什麼顏色？告訴你，連荷蘭人自己都會搞混。 ◎ 好多國家都換過國旗，有的用投票表決，也有「總統夫人」說了算。 作者迪米特羅為烏克蘭前內閣部長、前國安局局長顧問、連續創業家，從小對國旗充滿好奇，更設立超過7萬人訂閱的Telegram頁面：「迪米特羅．杜比勒說國旗」（Flags with Dmytro Dubilet）。 他發現市面上除了參考書和童書以圖鑑簡介呈現以外，沒有一本書從國旗講述國家的故事！為了改變這個情況，他蒐集資料並花兩年時間撰寫，最後在烏俄戰爭開始前六個月，首次以烏克蘭語出版。 書中收錄兩百多幅彩色插圖，一一解釋每個國旗的前世今生，以及樣式背後隱藏的含義，因為旗上的圖像透露了哪些勢力結盟、政權更迭、宗教、神話，或追尋，這是理解一個國家的最快方法。 ◎ 大英帝國聯合旗，是榮光還是陰影 英國國旗的起源可追溯至十字軍東征，所以被殖民過的澳洲和紐西蘭都有英國「米」字圖、南十字星。目前這兩國都想擺脫曾被英國統治的陰影，想要換國旗，可惜幾次投票都沒過。 ◎ 象徵和平的橄欖枝，帶不來和平 受到聯合國——立志促進和平與繁榮的組織——影響，賽普勒斯、厄利垂亞和索馬利亞等國，紛紛使用象徵和平的橄欖枝，或選用聯合國藍，作為國旗主色。有用嗎？不少旗幟學家表示：國旗上有聯合國痕跡，命運都很悲慘。賽普勒斯種族衝突不斷、厄利垂亞的獨立戰爭一打30年。 ◎ 鐮刀、紅旗、五芒星，全都歷經過百萬死亡大饑荒 凡實施社會主義的國家，像是蘇聯或前蘇維埃社會主義共和國，或後來由共產黨執政，如越南，國旗上都找得到這些元素。但這些國家都發生過大型人為饑荒事件，是湊巧、還是這三個圖像隱喻著什麼？ ◎ 太陽走過的足跡，故事各有不同又相同 臺灣，國旗上繪有12道太陽光芒的青天白日，遠在非洲的納米比亞，國旗上也有一顆極相似的太陽，但是金色的。巧的是，他們都是躲過共產黨統治的政權。 最有名的太陽旗非日本的日章旗莫屬，但日本人不愛，因為這個太陽總讓他們想起可恥的軍國主義。此外，你可能會發現，曾被日本統治的帛琉有著跟日本相似的國旗，但日本的是太陽，帛琉的是滿月！ 國旗就是理解一個國家最快的方法：六芒星、彎月、三原色、橫條紋、十字架、羅馬人、泛非洲色…… 旗幟的設計透露了什麼思維？記錄（或預言）了這個國家哪些最重要的故事？ 名人推薦 《解鎖地球》Podcast主持人／游尚傑 歷史教師、作家／吳宜蓉 球歷史Ball History 歷史作家／神奇海獅 「一場閃耀的旅程，帶我們領略熟悉符號背後的故事。」——提姆．馬歇爾（Tim Marshall），《用十張地圖看懂全球政經局勢》（Prisoners of Geography）、《用十張地圖揭露世界未來趨勢》（The Power of Geography）作者 「引人入勝又淺顯易懂。挖掘古今中外大量的罕見故事，令讀者非常享受。」——西蒙．庫柏（Simon Kuper），《牛津同窗》（Chums）作者 「一本揭露旗幟祕密的書籍。作者以雄心壯志告訴讀者，旗幟不只是象徵，而是體現一個國家。他的書令讀者驚喜連連，或許能使旗幟學這門學問蔚為風潮。」——安德魯．馬汀（Andrew Martin），《地下鐵與地上鐵》（Underground Overground）、《夜晚列車》（Night Trains）作者 「這本書超越了大多數容易遺忘、拿來當聖誕禮物的書籍，並且成為了真正重要的東西：對民主的呼籲，對理性的倡導，對真理概念的捍衛。」——《前景》雜誌（Prospect Magazine），當月新書推薦

To stripe a surface serves to distinguish it, to point it out, to oppose it or associate it with another surface, and thus to classify it, to keep an eye on it, to verify it, even to censor it. Throughout the ages, the stripe has made its mark in mysterious ways. From prisoners' uniforms to tailored suits, a street sign to a set of sheets, Pablo Picasso to Saint Joseph, stripes have always made a bold statement. But the boundary that separates the good stripe from the bad is often blurred. Why, for instance, were stripes associated with the devil during the Middle Ages? How did stripes come to symbolize freedom and unity after the American and French revolutions? When did the stripe become a standard in men's fashion? "In the stripe," writes author Michel Pastoureau, "there is something that resists enclosure within systems." So before putting on that necktie or waving your country's flag, look to The Devil's Cloth for a colorful history of the stripe in all its variety, controversy, and connotation.
