In this book, Bevan looks at the destruction of historical architecture during times of armed conflict, especially at the deliberate destruction of architecture as it relates to culture.

"it is the manipulation of history rather than emotion through architecture that is troubling. when history is not understood it is more likely to be repeated."

Surprisingly more interesting and easy to read than I was expecting. Especially the first 2 chapters ('cultural cleansing' and 'terror'). Lots of stuff to think about. Would love to read more about the different topics here.
