Sumario: | "As rancorous debates over Confederate symbols continue, Robert Bonner explores how the rebel flag gained its enormous power to inspire and repel.

Bonner also comments more broadly on flag passions - those intense emotional reactions to waving pieces of cloth that inflame patriots to kill and die."--Jacket |
