The actual tale at the back of the key movement image The Monuments Males. The solid of characters contains Hitler and Goering, Gertrude Stein and Marc Chagall–to not point out works by way of artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Pablo Picasso. And the tale advised on this beautifully researched and suspenseful Ebook is that of the 3rd Reich’s conflict on Ecu tradition and the Allies’ determined attempt to keep it.
From the Nazi purges of “Degenerate Artwork” and Goering’s buying groceries sprees in occupied Paris to the perilous adventure of the Mona Lisa from Paris and the painstaking reclamation of the useful treasures of liberated Italy, The Rape of Europa is a sweeping narrative of greed, philistinism, and heroism that mixes superlative scholarship with a compelling drama.
