Robert M. Edsel's second book about World War II looting, The Monuments Men, came out in September, and as someone who in years past has written much about the subject myself (here, here, and here, to name a few), I wanted to see what Edsel has to say. Yesterday, as I was about to start reading, I decided to look first at other coverage of the book so far. I found something more interesting than reviews.
Just last week, the Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art (Edsel's non-profit), announced that it had "found" another member of the famed art recovery squad -- one of its few women, Mary Regan Quessenberry, now living in Boston.
