The articles of this fascinating volume present first-hand accounts of the history and current state of preservation, recovery, and research of the art and architectural monuments of Afghanistan. The destruction of the Buddha of Bamiyan is only the best known example among articles discussing the willful destruction of Afghanistan's rich artistic heritage. The majority of the articles, however, are concerned with more positive themes, including the recovery of many significant works believed lost, the discovery of new archaeological sites, the reconstruction of ancient monuments, and the restoration of the National Museum of Afghanistan in Kabul. Legal aspects of recovering stolen goods are also discussed. Several of the authors, including the editor, are affiliated with the Society for the Preservation of Afghanistan's Cultural Heritage; all are art historians whose work as curators, archaeologists, and researchers has brought them into close contact with the monuments and their fates. Many b&w and color plates are included. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
