The year 2014 marks the one hundredth anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, and the beginning of World War I. Beginning with the Trojan War and weaving a cross-cultural narrative that ends in the 21st-century Middle East, this title explores how cultural treasures often became silent victims of armed conflict.
