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

informative medium-paced

3.5

I didn't intentionally read this on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, but it was a cool coincidence. This was a dense read, as Edsel had a lot to cover in a single book. Despite the book only covering a few years of time, there's so much context to everything and a lot happening, and Edsel did a great job covering it all. At some points I found it challenging to follow what was happening, but that could definitely be on me since I don't know a huge amount about that period of WWII. This was a really cool story and I'm glad Edsel told it.
