An amazing story told from WWII that not many know about. Saving art and history might not feature on the priority list when there's a brutal war going on; but imagine not having millions of paintings, historical manuscripts, beautiful stained-glass churches and other art forms in the world today.

It is heart-breaking to read about the callousness meted out to people and property alike, but there were good and bad on both sides which comes across in the book.
