So I finished Robert Edsel's The Monument Men: Allied Heroes Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History. For those that saw and enjoyed the movie, this is so much better. The book goes into small biographical histories of the original Monument Men, their various educational and career backgrounds, and their goal to save the stolen treasures of World War II and treasured architectural buildings in all of Europe including whenever possible those of the Axis Powers. The book goes into the salt mine in Germany but also highlights other hiding spots around France. Belgium and Germany that were stolen by the Nazi’s. It also attempts to save from Hitler's Nero Decree to destroy any artwork rather that have it retrieved by the Allied Forces. A solid 4.5 to 5 star book for me. I loved it add recommend it to all World War II students to see another side of the war. Wow! Definitely a side of war you don’t think about. Extremely interesting, if not a bit plodding at parts. Starts out slow, but stick with it and you’ll be rewarded. As if all the other Nazi atrocities weren’t enough (and they were and then some) you can add the ones here to that list. These guys definitely should be more famous, unsung heroes without a doubt.
The hunters' exploits make a fascinating read. Edsel carefully and colorfully backgrounds "The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History" with vivid accounts of the war's progress. But statements that recall films "based on a true story" may put some readers off. An author's note says he created dialogue for continuity but not on substance, and always with documentation.

focused on the stories of about 8 men- a manageable #.Balanced, for the most part-showing that some Nazi's took steps to protect the art-while others were everybody's idea of a Nazi.
Fills a void, gaining some recognition for these brave people
