Book Review of The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History

reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


This is an amazing story, well worth reading even though all the details can't be absorbed. Read this book if you want to see how western nations are "exceptional." Set in WWII, it is the story of how a small team of allied soldiers help repatriate looted works of art (statues, paintings, furniture, relics). The author documents as best he can the true story.
