Don Kladstrup - Wine and War: The French, the Nazis, and the Battle for France's Greatest Treasure
Don Kladstrup - Wine and War: The French, the Nazis, and the Battle for France's Greatest Treasure - This World War II history tells of the inventive and sometimes risky effort by the French to preserve their cultural heritage and to keep their wines from falling into Nazi hands during the occupation.
New York Times: "[A]n intriguing tale....Many of the wine people, especially in Bordeaux, were something less than heroic during those hard years. The Kladstrups focus on the heroes. Maybe it's better that way.", New Yorker: "The Kladstrups' approach to these anxious yet often undramatic years is leisurely, anecdotal, and decidedly without rigor.", Wall Street Journal: "[The authors] seem to have done thorough research, garnering some very important material, mostly through interviews. But the sound-bite style of their writing makes you mistrust their facts and, because they don't always identify the source of their information (and when they do, they often don't say when and where the interview took place), historians are going to have to do the Kladstrups' work all over again. Still, it's a great yarn, as gripping as a good adventure story."
