The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu and Their Race to Save the World's Most Precious Manuscripts

A book about terrorism with a dash of books and librarians. Invert that and I would be very excited, but as it stands this book is everything I actively try to keep out of my consciousness.

The parts about the literary traditions of Mali/West Africa were wonderful, and I'll try to find a different book that focuses on that.

Abandoned.
