Review of 'The monuments men' on 'Goodreads'

A pesar de que es un evento histórico que me llamaba la atención, este libro no es más que una pieza de propaganda del ejército estadounidense. Es un libro que utiliza hechos verídicos acontecidos en la II Guerra mundial (y aquí termina lo bueno) y lo difumina con una pátina de patriotismo barato y heroísmo para vender el capitalismo, la propiedad privada y el valor del ejército (americano, eso sí) como Salvador único del legado cultural europeo. No perdáis el tiempo.
