"Joe Kane is one of the more unsettling villains in recent historical fiction because he almost has a point. War destroys everything in its path — and someone does need to make sure priceless artifacts survive. Kane has simply decided that someone should be him, and that profit is a perfectly reasonable motive. Sacred Plunder traces how that logic corrupts everything it touches — the security firm, the military contacts, the intelligence apparatus — and what it costs the one man inside the operation who still draws a line."
