"Star-Spangled: The Story of a Flag, a Battle, and the American Anthem" by Nathan Agin takes readers on a journey through American history, focusing on the creation of the iconic Star-Spangled Banner. This story unfolds against the backdrop of the War of 1812, detailing the dramatic events of the Battle of Baltimore and the resilience displayed by those defending Fort McHenry. Through vivid imagery and rich storytelling, Agin explores how the flag, which flew over the fort during the battle, inspired Francis Scott Key to pen the anthem that would become a symbol of national pride and perseverance.
