And how would you do it ?By Martha JonesThis is the story of the little known effort to save store and preserve the documents considered the most precious to American democracy during WWII. The object of course was to ensure that they were not destroyed by any attack but also to make sure they suffered no damage while hidden. And this was done in secrecy and known only to a few. The documents were the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and the Gettysburg Address. History buffs and especially those interested in archival documents will find this a great adventure. Those interested in WWII will find this an interesting side story to our war preparations. It's somewhat similar to the actions of the monuments men but on a much smaller scale.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. InformativeBy Joe TVery informative. I thought I knew a lot of US history; but this book informed me of historical and 'turf protection' stories I have never heard before. Extremely good read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An excellent bookBy jnadrigthis is the third book I have read by Stephen Puleo and I must say; he does not disappoint. I am not a fan of historic works but it has never been presented to me the Author Puleo writes. Fascinating insight in the mindsets of our beloved historic forefathers and the amazing documents they created and debated over.A must read just like his other books. Stephen gives it his all with an amazing amount of research and historical context.
