      "As the most destructive war in history ravaged Europe, many of the world's most cherished cultural objects were in harm's way. The Greatest Treasure Hunt in History recounts the astonishing true story of eleven men and one woman who risked their lives amidst the bloodshed of World War II to preserve churches, libraries, monuments, and works of art that for centuries defined the heritage of Western civilization.

Come avevano fatto in tutta Europa, i nazisti potevano ora depredare i capolavori del Rinascimento, i tesori del Vaticano e le antichità dell'Impero Romano.

Nel maggio del 1944, due improbabili eroi americani - l'artista Deane Keller e lo studioso Fred Hartt - partirono da Napoli per una caccia al tesoro senza precedenti, rintracciando miliardi di dollari di opere d'arte scomparse, tra cui opere di Michelangelo, Donatello, Tiziano, Caravaggio e Botticelli.
