MONUMENTS MAN: The Mission to Save Vermeers, Rembrandts, da Vincis, and More from the Nazis' Grasp

Rorimer became a leading figure in the art recovery unit known as the Monuments Men, an elite group of the U.S. Army who risked their lives to save Europe's greatest artworks from Hitler's grasp. This work traces his journey with Allied troops across France and Germany on a trail of Nazi-stolen masterpieces of art with the goal of locating, seizing, and returning the works to their original holders.
