The Monuments Men - Allied Heros, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History (Hardcover)

At the same time Adolf Hitler was attempting to take over the
western world, his armies were methodically seeking and hoarding
the finest art treasures in Europe. The Fuehrer had begun
cataloguing the art he planned to collect as well as the art he
would destroy: "degenerate" works he despised.
In a race against time, behind enemy lines, often unarmed, a
special force of American and British museum directors, curators,
art historians, and others, called the Momuments Men, risked their
lives scouring Europe to prevent the destruction of thousands of
years of culture.
Focusing on the eleven-month period between D-Day and V-E Day, this
fascinating account follows six Monuments Men and their impossible
mission to save the world's great art from the Nazis.
