The Protection and Salvage of Artistic and Historic Monuments in War Areas: Report of the American Commission (first published in 1946) is a detailed look at the American Commission's work with the U.S. military, museum officials, art historians, and international commissions to protect European art, monuments, institutions, and records of cultural value from war-related damage or theft. In addition, the Commission (often referred to as the Roberts Commission in honor of its chairman, Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts) helped in the restitution of public and private property appropriated by the Nazis and their collaborators. Part I discusses the creation of the Commission and its purpose; Part II examines the Commission's activities in the U.S. and abroad; Part IV looks at the field operations of the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives Officers (the "Monuments Men") in Europe and the Far East. Appendices list personnel and include 59 pages of photographs illustrating the Monuments Men at work.

The uneasy relationship between the arts, US art museums, and the federal government has not been thoroughly explored by scholars. This book focuses on the development of “national diplomacy exhibitions” during World War II and the early Cold War and explains how the War provided the government with an impetus to create a national arts policy. It discusses how national diplomacy exhibitions on US soil were deployed as persuasive tools to influence public opinion, to reconcile discrepancies between high art and democracy, and to resolve America’s lagging art status and difficulties with “the foreign.” The type of soft diplomacy that art museums provide by initiating national diplomacy exhibitions has not received emphasis in the scholarly community and art museums have essentially been ignored in cultural studies of the early Cold War. Scholarly analysis of museum exhibitions in the last quarter of the 20th century is now a popular topic, but investigations of exhibitions between 1939-1960 have been thin. By scrutinizing major exhibitions during those formative years this book takes a new perspective and examines the foundational development of the so-called “blockbuster” exhibition stimulated by World War II. The book will interest readers in visual studies, history, museums, cultural affairs, government, and international diplomacy.
