Summary:
"For two centuries the West has plundered the treasures of the ancient world to fill its great museums, but the countries where ancient civilizations originated have begun to push back, taking museums to court and prosecuting curators. Sharon Waxman brings us this inside this high-stakes conflict, as Egypt, Turkey, Greece, and Italy face down the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum, the British Museum, and the J. Paul Getty Museum to force the return of these priceless objects."--Back cover.
