"[A] lively and provocative history...Feliciano has gathered much fascinating information on the possible whereabouts of major unrecovered works." - Lynn H. Nicholas Advertisement
"Thanks to clever sleuthing and meticulous research, Hector Feliciano has uncovered the whole shocking story of Nazi art-pillaging, and the no-less-shocking story of the French museums' failure to return a thousand of these pillaged paintings to their rightful owners. Besides putting an end to fifty years of official concealment, this book is a sensationally good read." - John Richardson Advertisement
"Hector Feliciano is a determined investigative reporter who takes on big targets and important subjects. He hits the bull's-eye with this account of the fate of European art treasures stolen by the Nazis." - Jim Hoagland Advertisement.
"'The Lost Museum' is a powerful history of plunder-the relentless and systematic looting of European art by the Nazis during World War II.The book reads like a perverse detective story, with Goering and Hitler as a diabolical, murderous pair of art-loving thieves." - Jerome Charyn
