Stealing history : tomb raiders, smugglers, and the looting of the ancient world

Atwood, Roger. (Author).

Summary:

"Tomb raiding is nothing new - it has a long history - but Stealing History shows how it has grown into a huge, global industry. These are no graveyard scanvengers, but professionals in an illicit antiquities trade that works with devastating efficiency to strip whole countries of their heritage. Atwood reveals the strange, sad world of well-organized looters and the undercover FBI operations that are putting corrupt dealers out of business."--Jacket.
