Hi, I'm Alex Marshall, a culture journalist (for The New York Times) and author of the "endlessly engrossing", "very funny" and "invaluable" Republic or Death! Travels in Search of National Anthems about these songs' stories and meaning today. It apparently "inspires deep thought over national identity" so buy it at your local store or head to Amazon UK / US now. Those quotes are from actual newspapers like The Times and people like Tim 'Prisoners of Geography' Marshall (no relation); I haven't made them up! Follow me @alexmarshall81. The title comes from Paraguay's anthem; I'm not a revolutionary. Yet
