and Their Race to Save the World's Most Precious Manuscripts
Jul 16, 2016jeffreyochsner rated this title 2.5 out of 5 stars
I really wanted to love this book, but I didn't. Most of the book was either very dry or very depressing. I thought that the rescue of the priceless manuscripts would be the focus of the book, but it is a small part near the end. I had to force myself to keep reading this book. There is some good information here, but it is not enjoyable reading. What a disappointment!
