A review by larooster
The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel

3.0

This was informative but not compelling like other nonfiction books I have read in the last several years. However I do like that the stories of art, monuments and cultural objects looted by the Nazis and saved by the Allies is being told. I am thankful I have seen many of these works of art in person such as the Bruges Madonna and Child by Michelangelo and the Ghent altarpiece by Van Eyck.
