"This is an interesting story that goes on way too long. As an intelligence expert, multiple meetings at multiple hours in multiple Buenos Aires cafes is probably interesting stuff. For the average reader, though, it's pretty dull. This book would be better if it were 50 pages shorter. Still, it's a fascinating story that is part of the birth of a fascinating country."
"This fascinating book is the "first full account," replete with real names, of the capture of Adolf Eichmann (the architect of the "Final Solution to the Jewish Problem" for the Third Reich) in 1960. The book is a first person account by the former head of Israel's Secret Service who led this operation. The story is powerfully told, building and building. The planning and attention to detail were extraordinary. I found especially powerful the scene on the plane (covertly flying Eichmann from Buenos Aires where he was captured to Israel where he will be tried) where Zvi Gutmann (airline mechanic) finds out who their passenger is, and-- after running to a private place in the plane to sob fiercely--sits quietly across from the blindfolded Eichmann and remembers his and his family's history during the Holocaust."
"This account of Adolf Eichmann's capture is a bit dry but still quite readable. Harel provides insight into a secret services operation that was remarkably ordinary, even clumsy--especially for so sensational a result."
"Isser Harel was head of the Mossad for many years, and stood at the head of the Mossad's most famous operation. Adolf Eichmann, responsible, among other things, for the slaughter of Hungarian Jewry was kidnapped in Argentina (notorious for hiding Nazis) and brought to trial in Israel. Naturally, he was found guilty and executed, the only death sentence ever handed out in Israel. The trial was a major turning point for Israeli society. The book details the planning and execution of he kidnapping. It has appeal merely as a (non-fiction) spy thriller, but, of course, reading it as such means the reader misses out on the historical contexts. The book also shows many problems faced by the agents in Argentina. Some of them, obviously, are operational, such as disguises, secret meeting places, hideouts etc. But others are moral - what does a Jew do when he is assigned to stand in the same room with the man who murdered hundreds of thousands of his brothers? Harel does a wonderful job both of telling the facts and invoking thought on the reader's part."
