"Howard Trienen's Landscape with Smokestacks is a lucid, engaging book that offers an unusual vantage on the world of art collecting and the heritage of the Holocaust. Most notably, it demonstrates why the muddy, boring, detailed truth of the law, that emerges from adversarial skirmishing, can prove more reliable than that of journalism, where the independent observers are sometimes too eager to capitulate to preestablished verities." —Scott Turow
