This book offers a lot of knowledge about the work of Those Monuments Men and some behind the scenes information about prefered pieces of art, Mainly of Goering and Hitler, too. From That point it deserves a ***** - rating, but the way it is written, unfortunately did remind me to the old times in history class. Two of my colleagues, That Were Trying to read this book as well, fizzled - I did only succeed, Because I had a week off and Could afford to fall asleep every 10 pages. And this is NOT overstating! If u got problems to sleep. Take it. But still, I am glad I did read it, but it what real pain.
