Although the narrative has faults (repeating unecessary information on a regular basis and plodding along in places) this is an extremely important story that needs to be told and is told well here. Despite the narrative Edsel and Witter manage to get across the power, heroism and tragedy that is the legacy of The Monuments Men in a well researched and readable way. You know when you find yourself weeping through the epilogue that this tale is not one to forget in a hurry, and I'm grateful for the copious notes that provide further reading.
