The Fuehrer had begun cataloguing the art he planned to collect as well as the art he would destroy: \"degenerate\" works he despised.\nIn a race against time, behind enemy lines, often unarmed, a special force of American and British museum directors, curators, art historians, and others, called the Monuments Men, risked their lives scouring Europe to prevent the destruction of thousands of years of culture.\nFocusing on the eleven-month period between D-Day and V-E Day, this fascinating account follows six Monuments Men and their impossible mission to save the world's great art from the Nazis.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0316240052\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0316240052.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Edsel, Robert M.|Witter, Bret\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
