ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

In Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel, the story follows an unlikely group of American and European art experts, the Monuments Men, as they embark on a mission during World War II to protect and recover cultural treasures from Nazi plunder. As the war rages, these men and women navigate dangerous territory, facing military bureaucracy, insufficient resources, and the constant threat of destruction to accomplish their mission. They uncover vast repositories of stolen art, including masterpieces by Michelangelo and Vermeer, hidden in mines and castles. Their efforts highlight the importance of preserving cultural heritage amidst the chaos of war, even as they face challenges from those determined to destroy it all.
