Hunting Eichmann book cover
Hunting Eichmann
How a Band of Survivors and a Young Spy Agency Chased Down the World's Most Notorious Nazi
Neal Bascomb - 2009-01-01
Рейтинг Goodreads
This riveting historical account tells the story of the manhunt for Adolf Eichmann, who vanished after the Allies stormed Berlin in the last days of the Third Reich. The hunt for Eichmann spans continents and generations, involving a bulldog West German prosecutor, a blind Argentinean Jew and his beautiful daughter, and the Mossad, whose rare surveillance photographs are published here for the first time. The thrilling capture of Eichmann and efforts to bring him to trial is the gripping conclusion to this tale of espionage and international pursuit.
