Join award-winning journalist Marc Fennell (It Burns, Nut Jobs, Stuff the British Stole) as he takes you on a captivating global journey through the mysterious Morton Cranial Collection. You will encounter an Australian cannibal, explore the depths of ancient Egyptian looted tombs, and piece together the story behind one of America's most tragic acts of police violence.

Fascinating and heartbreaking. The stories of the Move activists is unbelievable.

Super interesting topic. Really well researched as Marc’s work always feels. Slightly repetitive at times.
There were a few points the audio book referenced visuals? I can’t see those obviously which was a shame.

Disturbingly fascinating, and reminds me (once again) that we, the human race, still have a lot of decency and respect to learn. And making amends...

Interesting history a lot of which I didn't know. Although a bit repetitive I did enjoy the conclusion that remembrance is a "radical act" ....
