Anmeldelser
«This book tells a fascinating story.»
Choice
«Gerri Chanel's account of how France preserved its art from both the destruction of war and the pillaging of the German occupiers reads like a thriller»
Caroline Moorehead, TLS
«Fantastic ... At its best this is a story of the inhabitants of a humiliated country doing all in their power to preserve their nation's cultural heritage ... The black-and-white photographs in this book are worth of an art exhibition in themselves.»
Daily Mail
«Chanel's history is a work of substance and scholarship that should be part of every art history collection and required reading for anyone who cares about Western civilization.»
Booklist (starred review)
«A brilliant piece of storytelling explaining how the masterpieces of the Louvre escaped Göring's mantelpiece and Himmler's walls ... This is a grippingly written and meticulously researched contribution to the history of the Second World War.»
The Tablet
«A compelling true account of the men and women who fought to save France's heritage and a fascinating story of art and intrigue.»
