During the junket for the new film THE MONUMENTS MEN, we had the rare treat to speak to the author of the book on which the film is based. Robert M. Edsel has written a number of fascinating non-fiction books including “Rescuing Da Vinci”, “Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History” and of course “The Monuments Men.”

During our discussion, he talked about the search for the missing art and how we are still making discoveries to this day. It was a fascinating opportunity to talk to Robert about his findings and the work he has done for The Monuments Men Foundation for which he is the Chairman of the Board. THE MONUMENTS MEN opens this Friday at a theatre near you.
