Rezensionen
"In her masterful biography of one of the greatest unknown heroines of World War II, Michelle Young brings the French art historian Rose Valland to brilliant life and finally gives her the credit she is due. Daily risking her life during the war to document the Nazis' looting of tens of thousands of French works of art, the quiet, unassuming Valland then helped locate and return the vast majority of those treasures after the conflict. A gripping account of Valland's passionate one-woman fight to preserve France's artistic heritage, The Art Spy is a must-read." - Lynne Olson, New York Times bestselling author of Citizens of London and Madame Fourcade's Secret War

"After four years of all-out research in France and America using many unpublished documents, Michelle Young finally allows us to bring Rose Valland to life and discover the important role played by her partner Joyce Heer, during fifty years of their life together. After thirty years, the goal set by the Association 'La Mémoire de Rose Valland' is finally achieved through The Art Spy: to promote Rose Valland's work and bring her out of the shadows." - Association La Mémoire de Rose Valland
