For anyone who ever wanted to be an archaeologist, Ian Graham could be a hero. This lively memoir chronicles Graham’s career as the ‘last explorer’ and a fierce advocate for the protection and preservation of Maya sites and monuments across Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. It is also full of adventure and high society, for the self-deprecating Graham traveled to remote lands such as Afghanistan in wonderful company. He tells entertaining stories about his encounters with a host of notables beginning with Rudyard Kipling, a family friend from Graham’s childhood.
