Thomas Bruce, the seventh Earl of Elgin is exposed as the perpetrator of "the greatest art theft in history" as the person responsible for taking marble artwork from The Parthenon. The author uses diaries, letters, official documents, and memorabelia to tell the story of this part of history of England.
