Book Reviews of Rescuing Da Vinci: Hitler and the Nazis Stole Europe's Great Art - America and Her Allies Recovered It
Book Review: One fantastic book, I really enjoyed it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far, one of the most interesting books I've ever read about WWII. I took it with me to Jamaica to read on the plane & on the beach. It has amazing pictures, and some very informative text, however, I found it striking that, while the media & most teachers always portray Hitler & the Nazis as a bunch of buffoons, they took a country that had lost just about everything in WWI, were bullied by the Soviets, & the rest of Europe afterwards, had practically no resources or money, had been living in a brutal recession for years & somehow with the genius of its leaders, almost single handily took over the world. If it weren't for the Grace of God & the United States being in a depression itself & needing a war to get us back on track, German would probably be the worlds official language today. While no-one can justify the brutality of their mission & a lot of their tactics, the current leaders of the world can hardly be held up as examples of genuine behavior themselves. This book is a great read, just read between the lines, these guys also had great taste in art! And they gave us the Volkswagon Bug!
