In the shattered aftermath of Cambodia’s civil war, temples that had stood for centuries were found ransacked: sacred sculptures had been hacked from pedestals, towering statues of Hindu gods and priceless relics of the Khmer Empire had vanished.

At the centre of this vast plunder was the British expatriate Douglas Latchford, whose decades-long obsession fuelled one of the most audacious cultural thefts of modern times.

From the Killing Fields of the Khmer Rouge to the marble galleries of New York and London and the private collections of the rich and famous, The Man Who Stole the Gods unravels a breathtaking story of power, greed and corruption.
