"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."
