HUNTING EICHMANN : HOW A BAND OF SURVIVORS AND A YOUNG SPY AGENCY CHASED DOWN THE WORLD'S MOST NOTORIOUS NAZI
by Neal Bascomb

He was chief of Department IVB4, following Hitler's orders to annihilate the Jews. His goal was to remove every one of them from Hungary. But then, the war ended, Hitler committed suicide and the operational manager of the Final Solution vanished.
Adolf Eichmann spent the next fifteen years living, incognito (or so he thought), in Buenos Aires.
Many people searched for him and it became an international manhunt.
Eventually, the Mossad captured him and brought him back to Israel for trial.
Hunting Eichmann is an incredible story. Neil Bascomb used newly declassified documents and exhaustive research and has written a masterpiece.
If you want drama and suspense, pick up this book.
Highly recommended.
