The Greatest Treasure Hunt in History: The Story of the Monuments Men by Robert M. Edsel

3.0

While this is a great book tracking a major moment in history, I have to admit I struggled through it. It read more like a textbook then a third person account of the monuments men. I was surprised to learn that there were in fact more than 350 monuments men. I often wonder why the author only focused on the 11th. I think this would be a tough book for kids to get through even though it’s only around 250 pages. It bounced around a lot from monument man to monument man and I think that’s where I got lost.
