"The essays range in depth and detail but all of them address their selected topic with well-referenced research and present the current state of various situations where archives are under dispute [...] This book is a very academic compilation bringing together a range of scholars with a varied range of specialisms across the world touching on Iraq, Africa, Indonesia, South Korea and Russia and their connections and contentions with Europe and America."Alex Fitzgerald, Standard Life Aberdeen plc, Edinburgh, UK
