An acclaimed photojournalist provides a stirring tribute to the American spirit through poignant pictures of our flag

With this last election, the flag has never felt so inclusive and Victor Friedman's photographs capture the ubiquity of this American symbol. Spanning forty-five years, Friedman's photos of the American flag are by turns haunting and rousing, intriguing and evocative. Black & White magazine says, "Friedman imbues his work with the soul of a true artist." With more than eighty of these unique works, Flag celebrates a powerful emblem and beautifully brings to life its everyday essence.

With a range of scenes from countryside to cityscape, these photos are universal and timeless, illuminating the diverse perspectives that shape America's soul. Whether displayed across a barn wall, through a weather-beaten tenement window, flying in the most unlikely bar, or perched in the sand with a group of teenagers at the beach, the flag is a part of our lives. In the captivating spirit of America 24/7, Flag is a volume for every generation to treasure and a timely souvenir of a momentous year in American presidential history.
