OSS. RSHA. SD. SS. UN. USA. USSR. ~HERE, TOLD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN the United States, are the authentic, inside details of the most astounding capture and trial of the century. Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi official involved in murder on a scale unknown to history, had escaped arrest for fifteen years. But the families of his victims had never given up hope of bringing him to trial. The chase was on. Here are the excitements and the frustrations of the pursuit, and the evasions of the quarry. Here are the hitherto unreleased details of his kidnaping by Israelis. No one has yet been able to describe this chase with authority. It has now been done by Moshe Pearlman, who has held distinguished positions in the army and the government of Israel. The result is a story more thrilling than any novel. It is followed by a dramatic account of Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem. Chapter by chapter, the record piles up its mounting tension as the man in the dock, battling for his life, is confronted by some of his victims, witnesses who had miraculously survived Hitler's "final solution of the Jewish problem." The climax comes with the court's verdict and Eichmann's execution. The book makes exciting reading both for those who followed the trial and for those who still know little of the Nazi slaughter of six million Jews. Interwoven in the narrative is the only complete documentation in English of the courtroom proceedings, so that lawyer and layman will read it with equal absorption. This is a book which is certain to remain for many years the classic work on the life and death of Adolf Eichmann and on the history of Jewish suffering under the Nazis. Codice articolo 9161704
