What an amazing and humble group of professionals!! Working tirelessly and confronting not only military bureacracy and indifference at times but real bullets (two men were KIA) this allied team recovered unimaginable amounts of Western heritage sequestered away by the Nazis. The author jumps around(sometimes annoyingly) to each of the men working alone and their individual stories. Two real heroes leap out: George Stout and Rose Valland. At times the narrative can be slow but it picks up towards the end when there is a race to a salt mine loaded with art that has been prepared with explosives for destruction. The story of phenomenal individuals who possessed the passion and will to preserve our past is a must read for any lover of history and art. It's too bad our leaders didn't employ similar measures in Iraq and there is a brief comment about this in the summary.
