I really enjoyed this! It was a whole part of WWII history I never knew about. After reading the book, I watched the recent movie with Matt Damon, and though as with all movies, they felt the need to add more drama, I found the book to be even more dramatic.

All of the intensity of following the Allied armies through Europe exploring towns looking for art and artifacts was truly fascinating. I really recommend it for people who like history. It was surprisingly gripping and I learned a lot. I wished that I'd known this story when I was in Europe a few years ago at the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum. It would have made the experience even more interesting.
