Customer Reviews

true intelligence trumps fiction again

After months of search, I found and read this thriller. Here is a true story of daring, resourcefulness, dedication, and diligence in bringing to justice a mass murderer. How the Mossad did this without beepers, cellphones, pagers, walkie-talkies or other "modern" paraphernalia of the espionage trade makes for non-stop fascinating reading. Not to be missed!!

You can't put it down.

This is the fascinating true story of how the Israeli security forces carefully plotted to track down, capture, and return Adolf Eichmann to Israel for trial. It reads like the very best spy fiction, but it's doubly engrossing because it all really happened. You come away with deep appreciation and admiration for the brilliant minds working in the Mossad, as well as with a sense of the banality of evil (Eichmann is a piteous figure). This isn't classic literature or anything, but it is extremely well done and utterly entertaining. Highly recommended!

An illuminating book about the world ot espionage

This book is a must read for those who are fasinated by the shadowy world of espionage. A magnificant account of the capture of the nazi war criminal Adolf Eichman, by the Mossad. Written by the chief Israeli spy master, Isser Harel, it is an in depth discription of how Eichman was found, tracked, captured, smuggled out of Argentina, and brought to trial. Get your hands on this book, it is truely amazing.

An Outstanding Book!

This is one of the better books that I have read in quite some time. This book is a well detailed coverage of the capture of Adolph Eichman. Eichman was in charge of the final solution. Due to his directives and actions over 6 million Jews were put to death. This writing will show how Eichman was discovered living in Argentina. It will show how Mossad confirmed his identity and then went about planning his actual capture. This is a well written book that shows how well deserved justice was finally delivered to the Jewish people. Isser Harel who was then the head of Mossad adds to the book. Be sure to read this one. It is a keeper.

Best True Life Action/Mystery/Thriller Book in the World

Isser Harel (name incorrect above) was Mossad chief during the search for Eichmann. This is a fascinating, gripping, true story.
