Review Quotes: This book is a must-read for any archaeologist concerned with the many faces of the destruction of cultural heritage, not only in Iraq. [...] The multimodality of this volume, including many different backgrounds and connections to Iraq, serves not only as a sad document of the destruction of Iraq's heritage, but also as a warning of the consequences of the failure to consider cultural heritage in military planning.-- "JOURNAL OF FIELD ARCHAEOLOGY"
