Description Over 150 pages in this hardcover book in brand new condition with the dust cover intact and in great shape. Published in 1979, this book includes a record of the efforts of the Allied Powers at the conclusion of World War II to remove all traces of militarism from the cultural life of the German people; a profile of a relatively small group of skilled men who accompanied the armed forces of the Third Rich, capturing with brush and pen their subjective impressions of the war; an account of the exhaustive investigation undertaken by a single U.S. Army Air Corps Captain, which ultimately led to the seizure of 8,722 war-related works of art, a story of the plaintive attempts of those few individuals who sought to secure the return of their valued paintings; and a chronicle of the government’s continuing reappraisal of its need to retain the confiscated collection of German war art.
