This book is really long, but very well written and explains a lot about Lincoln and the Civil War. Wasn't really too interested in the topic before this, but found it to be very engaging so I kept reading all the way through.
In the evening of Saint Patrick’s Day, 1990, thieves posing as cops entered a Boston Museum and left with a haul that included three Rembrandts and a Vermeer, uninsured but valued today at $600 million. This is a fascinating nonfiction tale of the robbery, the suspects, and the investigators with digressions on other stolen art and attempts at recovery. What is most absorbing about the story is watching how research turns into investigation and then into obsession. The author manages to convincingly identify the two thieves and their connections to the Boston underworld. However, neither he nor anyone else has ever been able to locate or even discover the fate of the missing art.
Difficult subject but very interesting and provocative story. An excellent read. I recommend it.
Some of the stories were better than others, but overall I enjoyed it.
