Robert Edsel, the author of The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History, will be coming to Charleston for a lecture and book signing event presented free for the public on April 3, at The Citadel's McAlister Field House.
Edsel's book is about the men who rescued and returned millions of cultural items stolen by Hitler and the Nazis during World War II. Edsel's lecture will include more than 100 slides, anecdotes about the real Monuments Men and details about lobbying Congress to pass a resolution recognizing the achievements of the Monuments Men. The presentation will be followed by audience questions and a public book signing opportunity.
There is no admission fee for the lecture, which will begin at 6:30p.m. Middle, high school and college groups are encouraged to attend. Veterans will be provided with floor seating. Edsel's presentation will be preceded by a 5:30 VIP cocktail and private book signing event that requires a ticket purchase.
