Tried something a bit different, @JimmyJeffers mentioned this one in another thread..
Not wanting to turn into a Sheldon Copper but it was an interesting and decent read.
The author avoids going into the history of every flag as in his own words it would turn into a textbook.
Instead he focuses on a few dedicated country flags, expands into regions and also includes non state actors flags (UN, EU, ISIS etc) and he tells the history of the specific flags in an easy to read way. Some sections do get bogged down a bit in detail and there is a bit of rambling, but overall the history of the flags he dedicates chapters to make it worth reading. I thought the best chapter was the one on the American Flag and the laws/rules that are applicable to it were a bit of an eye opener

Yeah could probably write a book on the Stars and Stripes. Pretty insane (and dangerous) reverence towards it IMO. Easily the thing I remember most from the book.

Maybe, but I'm kind of hazy in my understanding of the particulars of the Thatcher years in the UK. I was too busy denouncing Ronald Reagan at the time. I'll look into the history a bit more before I read the novel.

No mate, sorry should have went into abit more detail.
Just seeing if it’s worth reading to be honest? Is it one of them daft self motivational ones that every one seems to be blagging these days, or is it a genuinely good one.
Ive heard good things about it to be honest.

Anyone who went nightclubbing in Liverpool city centre in the 1960s & 1970s should find this book of interest. One of the most famous nightclubs of that era. Gigged in it several times in 1969 when American artists regularly appeared there, and its sister club, the Victoriana, on the same night. In those times, the club was always packed out. It was originally a jazz club when it first opened in 1957, but moved to more mainstream music as Merseybeat unfolded.
Well worth a read for those of that era.

This sounds interesting. Funny how every country that has 'democratic', 'People's' or 'republic' in its title, are inevitably horrendous dictatorships.
