Stealing cultural heritage is a crime against humanity. The stories of these bad actors and their quests for power through looting, destroying provenance and archeological contexts are my favorite “real crime” tales. Seems like a corollary to war. I just ordered this book from my neighborhood bookstore, the Secret Garden in Ballard realease June 2.
