Synopsis
Robert M. Edsel documents the unheralded heroics of the hundreds of Allied soldiers who were assigned to track down the artistic and cultural treasures which had been plundered by the Nazis during World War II. As the Nazis swarmed through northern Europe, they sought to replace all forms of culture with items and images promoting their own ruthless agenda. Hoping to break the spirit of their subjects while advancing their own propaganda, they collected and, in many cases, destroyed countless works of art, religious icons, and cultural artifacts. But the Allies countered with a special unit, composed of art historians and experts, who risked their lives to recover these treasures. Their work required an extraordinary mix of investigative skills, military prowess, and artistic expertise, and Edsel's welcome attempt to rescue their efforts from obscurity is both insightful and exhilarating.

Publisher's Note
Traces the lesser-known effort by an Allied division to find and secure European art that had been looted by the Nazis, outlining the dramatic story of how they risked their lives and raced against time with limited supplies and scraps of information, sometimes obtained from colorful sources.

Industry Reviews
"In THE MONUMENTS MEN, Edsel strives to give his heroes the two-fisted, John Wayne treatment he feels they deserve. Structured as a series of swift cinematic scenes, the book is at times overly theatrical...but it is nonetheless a difficult work to put down."
(09/06/2009)

"[A] terrific story...[It] certainly is good to give these men (and that one remarkable woman) their due."
(09/27/2009)
