Title: Who needs Indiana Jones?
Product review: What can I write that hasn't already been written about this book? It's an incredibly fun read, Hopkirk makes you feel the urgency of the adventures the archaelogists are having. Sven Hedin's adventures are the ones that have left an indelible mark on me. I'll be picking up his book for Christmas! Although I agree the "let's plunder to preserve" mentality comes off disingenous, I don't think the people who took out these artifacts from the Taklamakon expected them to be stored away in the back of museums, remembered only by authors who worked in Central Asia!Thanks to Peter Hopkirk I have a new region and era to wargame! Thanks PH!
