In The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu, journalist Joshua Hammer chronicles the remarkable journey of Abdel Kader Haidara, a mild-mannered archivist who becomes a daring smuggler while rescuing tens of thousands of ancient manuscripts in the face of extremist threats. As Al Qaeda militants seize control of Mali and impose harsh laws, Haidara organizes a perilous mission to transport 350,000 volumes to safety. This compelling narrative not only highlights Haidara's heroism but also celebrates the triumph of art and literature over adversity.
