Robert Justin Goldstein is professor of political science at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, and the author of Saving "Old Glory": The History of the American Flag Desecration Controversy.
Few symbols have had the emotional impact and political
significance that the Stars and Stripes has exerted over the
American public. Not surprisingly, many of the social issues that
have roiled the country-freedom of speech, judicial activism,
religion and the state ... -are touched upon in this important
book. Goldstein's choice of relevant materials is exemplary.-- "Dr.
Whitney Smith, Director, Flag Research Center"
This is an invaluable compendium of everything you ever wanted to
know about the peculiarly American fascination with our flag and
the many ways it has been 'desecrated.' Professor Goldstein has
done an absolutely critical and fully exhaustive study on this
inexhaustible subject.-- "David Cole, Professor, Georgetown
University Law Center"
