megmerante 's review for:
We know and hear often of soldiers who nobly, selflessly risk their lives on behalf of their country and protecting freedoms, and the passion these Monument's Men felt for art drove them in the same incredible manner. Edsel details a part of our history not well known (until, of course, its recent movie), woven in with stories of personal struggle - noting particularly poignantly the balancing of strong feelings of repulsion of the actions of German soldiers, while still being compelled to save German culture and art. I had no idea we had this relatively small group of men (and Rose) to thank for so many of art's infamous destinations and pieces, nor how close they came to destruction. Enlightening, inspiring, and touching. A truly incredible story.
