Vintage Books, 1995. Trade paperback of The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe's Treasures in the Third Reich and the Second World War by Lynn H. Nicholas.

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award.

"From the Nazi purges of 'Degenerate Art' and Goering's shopping sprees in occupied Paris to the perilous journey of the Mona Lisa from Paris (while bridges exploded in its wake) and the painstaking reclamation of the priceless treasures of liberated Italy, The Rape of Europa is a sweeping narrative of greed, philistinism, and heroism that combines superlative scholarship with the breakneck pace of a thriller."

Good condition. Light pencil and pen markings throughout that do not obscure text. Previous owner's notes to the last blank page. Solid copy with shelf wear.
