Adam Brookes and 4 other people liked Joanne's review of Fragile Cargo: The World War II Race to Save the Treasures of China's Forbidden City: "Although WWII is the back drop of this true story, the real story is about China and it's culture and the art that came from it for centuries. When one thinks of WWII we seem to forget that the war in Asia began before that on the European continent. " Read more of this review 禄

Quotes by Adam Brookes (?)

“Perhaps, she thought, we have a finite reserve of courage, a pool we draw on over a lifetime. And with each act of nerve and self-control, we deplete it. And perhaps mine, deep as it was, is now running dry.”
