Lynn Nicholas' The Rape of Europa is still the definitive history of Nazi art theft, although this book fills in some biographical details here and there. It's easy reading, but feels sort of simplistic compared to more professional histories. (  ) wanack | Oct 21, 2009 |  
 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.
