The Guardian has an interesting story about 3,778 books that were taken from Peru's National Library during the War of the Pacific(1879-1883) finally being returned:
"The volumes, written in Greek, Latin, French and Spanish, some with full-page colonial-era maps, dated from the 16th to 19th centuries. Chile shipped the books, most in excellent condition, to Peru this week via DHL, where they'll be returned to Lima's national library." read more.
