«At the same time Adolf Hitler was attempting to take over the western world, his armies were methodically seeking and hoarding the finest art treasures in Europe. The Fuehrer had begun cataloguing the art he planned to collect as well as the art he would destroy: «degenerate» works he despised. In a race against time, behind enemy lines, often unarmed, a special force of American and British museum directors, curators, art historians, and others, called the Monuments Men, risked their lives scouring Europe to prevent the destruction of thousands of years of culture. Focusing on the eleven-month period between D-Day and V-E Day, this fascinating account follows six Monuments Men and their impossible mission to save the world's great art from the Nazis.» |

Hillary Clinton embodies a world of 'firsts': The first First Lady to have an active — and controversial role — in her husband's presidency, the first American First Lady to run for political office (and win it), the first female United States Senator from the state of New York, and certainly not last, nor the least, the most widely traveled Secretary of State in history. With reporting that only TIME magazine can bring to you, this book touches upon the high and low points of her life and career — from her time as First Lady, where she was often criticized for her active and assertive role in Bill Clinton's presidency, to her time in the United States Senate, her historic campaign for the nomination for president, and her decision to serve under the man who would defeat her — Barack Obama — as Secretary of State. This book will also help to dissect what the future might hold for Hillary, whether she chooses to run for office again or decides to remain a private citizen and devote her time to lecturing, teaching, and philanthropy. |
