kmg365 's review for:
I harbor a fear and loathing of history books thanks to unfortunate classroom experiences from 4th grade right on up to the last history class I was forced to take as a sophomore in college. The writing style of this book had me harking back to the days of nodding off over my textbook. It’s a mercy that Mr. Smalley (9th grade world history) isn’t around any more to say “Take out a half-sheet of paper,” which was his way of saying he was giving a pop quiz.
I’m glad I stuck with it, however. The good part is definitely the last third of the book, when the Nazis start retreating, and the Monuments Men are locating caches of stolen art treasures scattered across France and Germany. It’s an important story, one that I can’t believe faded into obscurity so quickly after the war.
Spoiler alert: The Allies win!
