The Star-Spangled Banner, Paperback

Due to careful research, Spier's artwork depicts ``the dawn's early light`` and ``the rocket's red glare`` with remarkable authenticity and detail in this celebratory book. Among the highlights: a brief history of the anthem, a reproduction of Francis Scott Key's original manuscript, music for guitar and piano chords and many photographs.
