«The Monuments Men» is the historical essay by Robert M. Edsel, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (576 pages, in Spanish).
During World War II, a group of Allied art historians and conservators —the Monuments Men— risked their lives to locate and recover the works the Nazis were looting across Europe. The narrative follows six of them, from the Normandy landings to the end of the war, in their race to save cultural heritage.
The Spanish edition carries the subtitle «La fascinante aventura de los "guerreros del arte" que impidieron el expolio cultural nazi» and includes black-and-white photographs.
For readers interested in World War II, art history and true stories of the rescue of European heritage.
