The Destruction of Memory

I'm reading this great book called The Destruction of Memory by Robert Bevan, and it's about the idea of destroying places like libraries, monuments, and places of prayer as a war tactic. The feeling of seeing something that means a lot to a culture or peoples can really bring down moral. The only downside of the book is the denseness of it. The author writes very descriptively and the book gives off a sort of textbook feel. It has pictures in it as well, which I was very skeptical of at first, but it helps a lot with the read. Anyways just thought I'd share, because the blog has been very slow lately.

Here's a picture of the cover:
