[An] entertaining survey . . . As well as reminding us that there are countries whose national tune still has a power to inspire, Marshall also digs out some choice nuggets about the anthems of the world.
The Times
Endlessly engrossing . . . Makes you realise how wrong most of us have been to take national anthems for granted, as if they somehow just appeared, rather than being the products of often fascinating history.
Reader's Digest
Fascinating . . . Totally exceeded my expectations. Giving it my highest possible recommendation. Go read it.
Ed Yong, 'Not Exactly Rocket Science', National Geographic
Very funny and entertaining and very informative.
Robert Elms, BBC London
Hilarious ... unforgettable ... will inspire deep thought over the meaning, construction and symbols of patriotism and national identity.
Times of India
A well-researched and diligent travelogue.
Daily Mail
An entertaining journey.
