Description
The history of art crime during war spans over two thousand years. From ancient wars to contemporary conflicts, this narrative reveals the theft, destruction, and plundering of some of the greatest works of art. This book charts the crucial milestones of art crimes, exploring the fascinating stories behind the fate of humankind's most treasured artistic heritage. It examines how our understanding of these events has evolved from a simple 'winner takes it all' attitude to a recognition that our cultural heritage belongs to everyone.
