The Monuments Men and Women were the artists in uniform who tracked down the millions of masterpieces looted by the Nazis. They saved our civilization from its worst barbarism. Glenn is a World War II veteran, one of the Greatest Generation. He drags his grandson, Michael, to Sotheby's, where their painting is sold for $3,700,000. Over a weekend, Glenn reveals that he was a Monuments Man. Glenn's experiences bring Michael to an understanding of courage, duty, and character. In the process, Michael learns of Edith Standen and Rose Valland and discovers the courage of the Monuments Women. "Balto's Nose" speaks to any reader interested in history, art, looting and restitution, personal development, and human value.
Thomas Thibeault Born in Canada, raised in Ireland, Thomas Thibeault now lives in the United States with his wife, Anna, and their fifteen cats. He has retired from a thirty-year teaching career, which has taken him to Russia, England, the Middle East, and the Far East. Those travels also involved working as a deck hand, soldier, truck driver in Africa, art model in Ireland, train brakeman in Canada, and a tour guide at the Pyramids. Thomas brings a wealth of experience to writing which expresses our primal experiences. Half a century of wide reading, wider traveling, and concentrated thinking have provoked Thomas into writing.
