W. Raymond Wood Livres

Though Anglo-American air power may be unrivalled in today's world, this was certainly not the case during Europe's last great war. Decades ago, when our airmen flew against Germany, horrific casualties resulted on both sides, and certain battles fought by the Allied powers can be termed nothing less than calamitous.

The book explores the childhood influences and key events that inspired Wood's journey to become an archaeologist, detailing the significant people who impacted his career. Alongside his personal narrative, it offers an intellectual history of mid-continental archaeology, tracing its development over the past fifty years, highlighting the evolution of ideas and practices within the field.
