About this product

Product Information

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award 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 theMona Lisafrom Paris and the painstaking reclamation of the priceless treasures of liberated Italy,The Rape of Europais a sweeping narrative of greed, philistinism, and heroism that combines superlative scholarship with a compelling drama. "Nicholas knows the art world as well as any military historian knows his battlefield.... Her work deserves the widest reading."--New York Times Book Review

5 out of 5 stars
by brooke25mMay 13, 2010
A necessary read for WW2 buffs-intense information
This is one of two books I have read detailing the voracious plundering of the Nazis during WW2. The countries that were invaded and occupied were robbed of all art and cultural objects, along with anything of value. This book details the locations and what was taken. It was one country raping another. Hitler also directed that some countries, such as Poland abd Russia should have their culture destroyed. The work done post war by the Allied governments to return objects to their former owners and institutions was remarkable. This book was priced very low-it was new-arrived quickly, more than worth the price.
