How the Tricolor Got Its Stripes

And Other Stories About Flags

Dmytro Dubilet
Among the many symbols on national flags, about a third are religious, including 31 crosses and 22 representing Islam. This introduction to vexillology explains the origins and meaning of the various colour combinations of national standards and the use of representative symbols, identifying, for example, local crops, geographical features or political ideals such as the socialist star device of the Republic of Mozambique, the Kalashnikov, hoe and open book.
