Beschreibung

'An adventure to rival David Grann's Lost City of Z, and a riveting exposé of the plunder that still fills the world's top art museums' Zeke Faux, author or Number Go Up 'Immaculately researched and beautifully written, a gripping real-life exposé of the ugly deals that underpin the trade in beautiful objects' Oliver Bullough, author of Moneyland An unbelievable table of greed, looted treasures and stolen history in the world's biggest art heist. In the shattered aftermath of Cambodia's civil war, temples that had stood for centuries were found ransacked - sacred sculptures hacked from pedestals, towering statues of Hindu gods and priceless relics of the Khmer Empire vanished. At the centre of this vast plunder, British expatriate Douglas Latchford, whose decades-long obsession fuelled one of the most audacious cultural thefts of modern times. From the Killing Fields of the Khmer Rouge to the marble galleries of New York and London and the private collections of the rich and famous, The Man Who Stole the Gods unravels a breathtaking story of power, greed and corruption, and asks what you take from a nation when you steal its past. Drawing on years of investigation and exclusive access to the stories' key players - from temple looters and traffickers to the investigators and archaeologists fighting to bring masterpieces home - award-winning writer Matthew Campbell reveals how the treasures of one of the world's greatest civilizations were stolen, sold and finally found. From the author of Dead in the Water, called 'a masterpiece' by the New York Times
