White-red-white. Flag. Nation. Identity

The book "White-Red-White Flag. Nation. Identity" is a fundamental study of the history of Belarus's main national symbol.
The authors analyze the origins and symbolism of white and red colors in Belarusian tradition, examine the standards of the 1863-1864 insurgents, the activities of Klaudius Duzh-Dusheўski, the creator of the modern flag, and the stages of its use in the 20th century – in Western Belarus, during the war, in emigration, and during the new Revival period of the late 1980s.
The publication is richly illustrated with historical photographs, documents, and graphic materials, collected for the first time in one book.
This is not just a study – it is a book about Belarusian identity, dignity, and memory that unites generations.
