"On August 25, 1944, Rose Valland ... found herself in a desperate position. From the windows of her beloved Jeu de Paume museum, where she had worked and ultimately spied, she could see the battle to liberate Paris thundering around her. The Jeu de Paume, co-opted by Nazi leadership, was now the Germans' final line of defense ... Based on troves of previously undiscovered documents, The Art Spy chronicles the brave actions of the key Resistance spy in the heart of the Nazi's art looting headquarters in the French capital ... While Hitler was amassing stolen art for his future F�hrermuseum, Valland, his undercover adversary, secretly worked to stop him"-- Provided by publisher.
