Summary:
"A total reassessment of the life of Adolf
Eichmann
-- a work of scholarship that reveals his activities and notoriety among a global network of National Socialists following the collapse of the Third Reich. Smuggled out of Europe after the collapse of Germany,
Eichmann
managed to live a peaceful and active exile in Argentina for years before his capture by the Mossad. Though once widely known as 'Manager of the Holocaust,' he claimed, from the defendant's box in
Jerusalem
, that he was just an overworked bureaucrat following orders -- no more, he said, than 'just a small cog in Adolf Hitler's extermination machine.'
Bettina
Stangneth
comprehensively analyzed more than 1,300 pages of
Eichmann
's own recently discovered written notes and draws a chilling portrait, not of a reclusive, taciturn war criminal on the run, but of a highly skilled social manipulator with an inexhaustible ability to reinvent himself."--Provided by publisher.
