I agree with 1964ag. The first 2/3 of the book was horribly detailed, extraneous information about this man's early childhood and life before WWII. Most of it could have been left out or greatly edited. The last 1/3 of then tok was actually quite interesting. I think it would be a great book for someone who is very familiar with modern artists whose works were taken by the Nazi's and for someone much ore acquainted with the German and European art community that I am. But in the end, this would have been twice as good if it were half as long.
