Treasure hunt : a New York Times reporter tracks the… par William H. Honan

Interesting story about a stolen treasure during WWII. William Honan searched for these treasures which were stolen from Quedlinburg, Germany, a place well known to Himmler. These treasures surfaced in a small Texas town. This is Honan's story for the search and the people he met along the way. It is part mystery, part history, part travel writing. This story also presents some interesting information on stolen art and the processes used to bring it home. History buffs, art buffs, and mystery buffs will like this read.… (plus d'informations)

Visions of Infamy: The Untold Story of How J… par William H. Honan

The subtitle pretty much says it all, except that I'd have said "anticipated" rather than "led to." Honan tells the story well, and it's fascinating for anyone interested in naval strategy and policy from the 1919-1939 era.
