About this product

Product Information

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award The real story behind the major motion picture The Monuments Men. The cast of characters includes Hitler and Goering, Gertrude Stein and Marc Chagall--not to mention works by artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Pablo Picasso. And the story told in this superbly researched and suspenseful book is that of the Third Reich's war on European culture and the Allies' desperate effort to preserve it. From the Nazi purges of "Degenerate Art" and Goering's shopping sprees in occupied Paris to the perilous journey of the Mona Lisa from Paris and the painstaking reclamation of the priceless treasures of liberated Italy, The Rape of Europa is a sweeping narrative of greed, philistinism, and heroism that combines superlative scholarship with a compelling drama.

    Exceptional and comprehensive history of art looting

    I've read many books on art looting but among all of them this one is the most comprehensive, analytical and most non-biased work on the fate of European cultural property during the 2nd WW.

    Long, but worth it.

    This is a looooog book with small print, so it's not easy to read. But the content is certainly worth your time if you're interested in WWII in Europe. I'd never been aware of the place fine art played in the war, so it was very informative to read this very well-researched account. My horizons have been broadened.

    Well Written

    Read it after seeing the PBS documentary of the same name. An excellent book but highly detailed. You may need to speed read to skip over all the minutiae. Art historians will particularly love it.
