From the renewed sense of nationalism in China, to troubled identities in Europe and the USA, to the terrifying rise of the Islamic State, the world is a confusing place right now and we need to understand the symbols, old and new, that people are rallying round. In his new book Tim Marshall draws on more than twenty-five years of global reporting experience to reveal the histories, the power and the politics of the symbols that unite us - and divide us.
