Burning books - history of the attack on knowledge

The book came under the title "Book Burning: The History of Attacks on Knowledge" and is authored by Richard Offenden, translated by Zeina Baroudi, and reviewed and edited by the Center for Arabization and Programming in Beirut. In his book "Book Burning: The History of Attacks on Knowledge," Richard Offenden, director of the famous Bodleian Libraries in Oxford, narrates the global history of deliberate destruction – and sudden survival – of recorded knowledge over the past three thousand years. Libraries and archives have been attacked since ancient times, but they have been particularly threatened in the modern era. Today, the knowledge contained in libraries faces deliberate destruction and neglect; due to deprivation of funding, which makes them struggle for their existence. The author tells the story of the struggle of the knowledge contained in libraries to survive.
