Compact Wales: Red Dragon of the Welsh, The - The History of the National Flag

More about the book

Any national flag carries a high emotional charge and comes with both myth and historical fact attached; but this book is more wide-ranging in its approach. The mix of ancient and modern concerns and events is refreshing. It puts Wales in an international context in a manner which is forward looking. It is visually exciting, being highly illustrated with expertly selected photographs of historical relics, flags and coats of arms, items of natural history, geographical images and material drawing on the media for example; this feature is integral to the work's effectiveness and impact.
