Summary:
At the same time that Adolf Hitler was attempting to take over the Western World, his armies were methodically seeking and hoarding the finest art treasures in Europe. The F©ơrher had begun cataloging the art he planned to collect as well as the art he would destroy: the "degenarate" works he despised. In a race against time, a group 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.
