Synopsis

The very heart of the Confederate fighting unit was its flag, which came in a variety of designs and colours.

The flag was the rallying point on the field of battle and it marked the unit headquarters in camp. In 1865, at the wars conclusion, the furling of the defeated Confederate banners signalled the end of that episode in history.

The first of three books focusing on flags of the Civil War, Philip Katchers text provides a detailed look into Confederate flags. Full colour illustrations and rare photographs portray the myriad variations of flags used to represent the seceding southern states.

Richard Scollins was one of the most popular artists ever to work for Osprey. He was born in 1946 and pursued a career as an artist after four years at art college and a postgraduate teaching course at Cardiff. He quickly developed a distinct style and, despite being a pacifist, he gained a feel for military subjects. His artwork was always realistic and is highly sought after by collectors. He died on 7th December 1992.
