In 1945 Priam's treasure, the fabulous plundered gold bequeathed by Heinrich Schliemann to the German people, disappeared without a trace in the confusion that followed the fall of Berlin. No country would admit to having taken it, and only with the end of Communist rule did the truth emerge -- the gold was lying hidden in the vaults of the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. This book tells of the fascinating search for the treasure that has now become a political issue: who has the right to the Trojan treasure?
