Based on the true story of the greatest
treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action drama focusing on an
unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue
artistic masterpieces from German thieves and returning them to their rightful
owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy
lines, and with the German Army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich
fell, how could these guys - seven museum directors, curators, and art historians,
all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M1 - possibly hope to succeed? But
as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against
time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their
lives to protect and defend mankind's greatest achievements.
This Edition is collectable and will make an
excellent addition for your collection. If you want the best there is, this is
