Book Reviews of Nazi Plunder: Great Treasure Stories Of World War II

Book Review: Plunder
Summary: 5 Stars

I visited the new Amber Room in 2006 and was awestruck at its majesty. I can only wonder at what happened to the original, like so much more that was looted during World War II. Neither side is innocent but it does make you wonder about human nature. We are a very strange breed at times. It is such a shame that so much national heritage is destroyed or "redeployed" at these times. How much more is out there in private collections or still buried in unknown of vaults or caves or basements..... This was a very interesting read.
