Samenvatting
28 authors, who were - and in most cases continue to be - involved at all levels, give in a series of chapters there personal stories about the disastrous failure of the US/UK led Coalition to protect the cultural heritage in Iraq during the invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003. It also provides the first views written by Iraqis on the situation of archaeology in Iraq under Saddam and an overview and contextualisation of the issues surrounding the looting, theft and destruction of the archaeological sites, the Iraqi National museum and the libraries in Baghdad since the war was launched in 2003. |
