Summary

Robert M.Edsel: The Heritage Squad

Allied heroes, Nazi thieves and the greatest treasure hunt of all time

"Most of us are aware that World War II was the most destructive war in history. We know the enormous human toll, we've seen pictures of destroyed European cities. Yet, as we walk through magnificent museums like the Louvre, we enjoy the solitude of stately buildings like Chartres Cathedral or we admire the sublime beauty of paintings like Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper, do we wonder how so many monuments and great works of art managed to survive that war? Who were the people who saved them?" These unsung heroes were known as the Heritage Squad.
During the occupation of Europe, Hitler and the Nazis carried out the "greatest heist in history", collecting and hiding more than five million works of art for themselves and the Third Reich. From the landings on Sicily to the fall of the Reich, the Heritage Squad raced against time to stage the biggest treasure hunt in history, with artefacts located in the most unlikely of places, from fairytale castles to deep mines. Heritage Squad by Robert M. Edsel is a suspenseful and exciting story about the men who found, saved and preserved priceless art treasures and the heritage of mankind.

A brilliant story that gives these men (and one special woman) their due credit.
Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post

The exploits of the Squad members are a fascinating read. The picturesque background of the events of the Heritage Squad Edsel carefully evokes with realistic accounts of the course of the war.
Carl Hartman, Associated Press
