The Book Thieves: The Nazi Looting of Europe's Libraries and the Race to Return a Literary Inheritance

By turns fascinating, harrowing, yet ultimately uplifting, this is the story of the Nazis'' systematic pillaging of Europe''s libraries, and the heroic efforts of the few librarians now working to return the stolen books to their owners. In the wake of one of History''s most expansive cultural crimes, Anders Rydell shows just how much a single book can mean to those who own it.
