The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is an amazing story of resolution and purpose - saving Europe's great art from the Nazis despite odds and a criminal lack of resources. A detailed and lively telling, this tells about a small group of art professionals turned soldiers saving the best parts of human expression in the murderous throes of the worst of human behaviour.
