Colonel Bodganos gave an energetic and informative talk about the situation facing the National Museum in Iraq in the weeks following the invasion. He also outlined his role tracing the antiquities that were stolen and outlined what should be done in the future.
APPAG members who missed this treat might like to buy a copy of his book ‘Thieves of Baghdad: One Marine’s Passion for Ancient Civilizations and the Journey to Recover the World’s Greatest Stolen Treasures’. Royalties from the book go to the National Museum, Iraq.
