Reviews

"Never has the story of World War II's artists been told with such breathtaking scope and clarity. McCloskey's gripping narrative will captivate students encountering this overlooked area of art history for the first time as well as historians and art historians well versed in the period. The unprecedented international reach of Artists and World War II provides a much needed synthesis of the scholarship on art production and politics under the extreme conditions of modern warfare." - Keith Holz, Western Illinois University, author of Modern German Art for Thirties Paris, Prague, and London."
