[review] Flag lovers will be intrigued by the story that Father Becker tells and by the striking images in this book. But Vatican Flags is not for flag lovers alone. The story it tells is full of important reminders that there are different forms of power in the world, and that the human condition cannot be reduced to politics alone, or economics alone, or some combination of politics-and-economics alone. The realm of the spirit still counts, and soulcraft shapes the future at least as much as statecraft. -- George Weigel, Distinguished Senior Fellow and William E.
