Description
Art, jewelry, gold – throughout history, successful heists have captured the public’s imagination and have inspired countless films and books. In Famous Robberies, author Soledad Romero documents some of the most memorable and spectacular heists in the world. The real life cases are presented in great detail, from planning to execution and the aftermath as seen in contemporaneous reports. Perfect as a gift for children who love their history with a dash of audacity and adventure, the book introduces them to famous cases like the Great Train Robbery from 1963 or the stealing of the Mona Lisa in 1911 through newspaper-style reporting. Brightly colored illustrations by Julio Antonio Blasco bring the heists to life.
