This is a book club book from my temple book club. My initial thought was "oh yeah, another World War II book!" (Add super sarcastic overtone!). But this is NOT a standard World War II book! It is history with an underlying search and, I don't know, not really a mystery, but there is an underlying problem and question. I really like the way the search was laid out, and the characters and roles well defined and explained. Eichmann was a horrible, horrible man and yet the reader could experience the different sides of his psychopathic (or sociopathic, I really don't know the actual difference) person, as well as his human side! By the end, if he weren't such a horrible person, the primary leader of the "final solution" of the "Jewish problem in Germany (and the rest of the world…", One could almost feel sorry for him. But only almost. I enjoyed the epilogue describing the continuance of all of those responsible for the capture and bringing to justice of this man! And I am very sorry that Joseph Mengele was never tried for the atrocities in which he contributed and which he designed!
But this book was satisfying, and I liked learning why it is that so many people now have never even heard about Eichmann! EVIL man!
