The Man Who Stole the Gods (S7E1)

Today, I'm joined by award-winning journalist Matthew Campbell to talk about his new book, The Man Who Stole the Gods. For decades, the Bangkok-based Brit, Douglas Latchford, bought priceless Cambodian artworks that had been looted from ancient religious sites. Some of these pieces made their way to the collections of museums as august as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In The Man Who Stole the Gods, Matthew shines a light on the criminals who stole these artworks and the international team of sleuths who helped return them to their native country.
