The Book

One in the Cass Classics of Espionage series, is the true story of one of this century's most audacious intelligence operations, the kidnapping of Adolf Eichmann by the Israeli Mossad. Eichmann was the top gestapo officer responsible for carrying out Hitler's Final Solution and the genocide of six million European Jews. After the war Eichmann escaped to Argentina, but in 1960 the Mossad, located him, and sought to bring him to justice. Under the personal command of the author, a team of elite agents kidnapped Eichmann and smuggled him back to Israel.  With a new Introduction by Shlomo Shpiro which brings the book into its historical context to become a classic intelligence story.
