Bücher von Rebecca Knuth

Part III examines the fate of libraries when there is war and a resulting power vacuum. The book concludes with a discussion of the events in Iraq in 2003, and the responsibility of American war strategists for the widespread pillaging that ensued after the toppling of Saddam Hussein.

Knuth examines ideologically driven and systemic destruction of books and libraries that paralleled acts of genocide in the 20th century.
