Review

After WWII, notorious Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann lived comfortably in Buenos Aires under an alias. Nazi hunters like Simon Wiesenthal sought Eichmann fruitlessly until 1956, when Eichmann's son bragged about his father's war exploits to his girlfriend's father, a half-Jew who had been blinded by the Gestapo and who alerted a Jewish attorney general of Hesse in Germany known for his prosecution of Nazis. Bascomb (The Perfect Mile) details Eichmann's wartime atrocities and postwar escapes, and how, in 1960, the Israelis decided to have secret service operatives (one of whom, Isser Harel, recounted these events in 1975's The House on Garibaldi Street)—mostly Holocaust survivors—secretly kidnap Eichmann and fly him to Israel on El Al, disguised as an airline employee. Tried in Israel in 1961, Eichmann was executed in 1962. These were early days for Israel's now-legendary intelligence agencies, Mossad and Shin Bet, and it's fascinating how they accomplished their goal without the technical and monetary support that's now standard. Although Bascomb's prose is awkward, his work is well researched, including interviews with former Israeli operatives and El Al staff who participated in the capture, as well as Argentine fascists. This is a gripping read.  (Publishers Weekly )

Product Description

The first complete narrative of the pursuit and capture of Adolf Eichmann, based on groundbreaking new information and interviews and featuring rare, neverpublished Mossad surveillance photographs When the Allies stormed Berlin in the last days of the Third Reich, the operational manager of the mass murder of Europes Jews shed his SS uniform and vanished. Bringing Adolf Eichmann to justice would require a harrowing fifteen-year chase stretching from war-ravaged Europe to the shores of Argentina. Alternating from a criminal on the run to his pursuers closing in on his trail,Hunting Eichmann follows the Nazi as he escapes two American POWcamps, hides in the mountains, slips out of Europe on the ratlines, and builds an anonymous life in Buenos Aires.Meanwhile, a persistent search for Eichmann gradually evolves into an international manhunt that includes a bulldogWest German prosecutor, a blind Argentinean Jew and his beautiful daughter, and a budding, ragtag spy agency called the Mossad, whose operatives have their own scores to settle. Presented in a pulse-pounding, hour-by-hour account, the capture of Eichmann and the efforts by Israeli agents to secret him out of Argentina and fly him to Israel to stand trial bring the narrative to a stunning conclusion. Hunting Eichmann is a fully documented, finely nuanced history that offers the intrigue of a detective story and the thrill of great spy fiction.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Incredibly Gripping while Very Detailed, Jui 26 2009
Par G. Poirier (Orleans, ON, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In this absolutely thrilling narrative, the author does a superb job in recounting, play by play, the hunt and eventual capture of former Nazi SS officer Adolf Eichmann - a man wanted for war crimes. As background information, he recounts Eichmann's wartime activities, particularly the role that he played in the Holocaust. His hiding in Europe after the end of the war and his remarkable escape to Argentina (where he lived until his capture in 1960) make for breathless reading. As an aside, I found that some of his sources of assistance in this escape to be particularly eye-opening. The author is meticulous is detailing every step followed by the team of Israelis in capturing him and bringing him to Israel to stand trial. One of the items that comes out particularly well in this remarkable book is Eichmann's mindset with regards to his wartime activities, that is, how he felt about, and justified, his participation in the extermination of so many innocent people. The author's research in putting this book together is clearly astronomical. The writing style is clear, friendly, accessible to a very wide readership and extremely engaging. Not only can this book be appreciated by anyone interested in important events in twentieth century history, it can also be relished by those who simply love a good cloak-and-dagger story.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Hunting the bureaucrat of death, Mai 17 2009
Par J. C. Mareschal (Montreal, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In 1945, Adolf Eichmann boasted that he would jump to his grave joyful because he had helped eliminate 5 million Jews. Fourteen years later, Israeli agents kidnapped him in Argentina where he was hiding and brought him to face justice. He hanged for the five million people he had send to the extermination camps. This book is the account of Eichmann's escape after the war, and of the manhunt that followed.

For four years, Eichmann managed to hide under a false identity in Germany before being smuggled out of Europe. His escape to Argentina was made possible by a network within the Catholic Church that sheltered Nazi war criminals. His family secretly rejoined him, and for several years they led a totally uneventful life in Argentina. He was a foreman in a Mercedes factory. He was living with his family in a small house without water or electricity in the outskirts of Buenos-Ayres. Eichmann was using a false identity, but his sons were using their real name and they were careless enough to draw attention by making anti-Semitic statements. Their presence was reported to a prosecutor in Germany who alerted the Israelis. It took another three years before Eichmann would be captured by the Mossad and smuggled to Israel. His trial was important because it exposed to the world the evil and the horror of the Nazi final solution.

This is a disappointing book. I did not learn much that I did not already know by reading this book. It gives a detailed account of the actions of the Israeli team who captured Eichmann and of the El Al flight back to Israel. It does not reveal anything new about the German government's efforts in the 1950s to avoid bringing Nazi war criminals to trial. It does not shed any light on the character of Eichmann and his family. This account of Eichmann's escape and life in hiding only confirms Hannah Arendt's chilling reflection that the architect of the final solution was just a mediocre little man.
