“Ronald (The Pirate Queen) provides a remarkably comprehensive telling of the Nazi’s massive looting of treasured artworks and the pivotal role the Gurlitts played… There are countless works related to Nazi Germany, but Ronald’s account provides an additional layer of knowledge that’s worth adding to your collection. Readers will gain a larger understanding of how art threads through society, what it means when those threads are unraveled, and the tragic effects of having your culture stolen and repurposed. They aren’t just paintings, indeed.”──Library Journal
“Hitler’s Art Thief is absolutely gripping from start to finish. Susan Ronald holds nothing back as she lays bare in merciless detail the cunning, greed, and hypocrisy that allowed Hitler’s willing accomplices, like the notorious Hildebrand Gurlitt, to feed off human misery to their hearts’ content. Everyone should read this book.”──Amanda Foreman, bestselling author of A World on Fire
