Outstanding
An absolutely outstanding account of the work of The Monuments Men, including the women. It’s not a bad title: the organization was called The Monuments Men when it was created, and was not renamed when women joined the ranks. That aside, there are many missing names and stories. I was delighted to see Rose Valland’s work celebrated front and centre, as I have long found her a compelling figure. There are 8-9 more women with stories included. This audiobook was seriously lacking a PDF accompaniment. I ended up getting the Kindle version to refer to the details. As much as I loved the book, the narration had it’s oddities: reading out references that aren’t even footnoted in the manuscript. There are also section summaries, which don’t really work, as it’s repetitious, and even confusing. If put in a PDF, these could be omitted from the narration. The way the audiobook is broken down into chapters is awkward. With the Kindle, I was able to get past these quirks. I actually wished the book was longer and went into even more depth on the works saved.
