The Argentina Journal: Paintings and Memories: The Israeli Secret Agent Who Captured Nazi War Criminal Adolf Eichmann Through His Art

Rating:
Summary: beautiful artwork
Review: I bought this book mostly for the artwork but the story behind the pictures also seemed--and is--very interesting. I came across it through a New York Times article and read more about it on Peter Malkins website. This is such a wonderful book. Every page is printed in georgous color and the artwork is fantastic. If you like the sketchbbook style paintings you see here and on his website, you won't be dissapointed. If I had to complain about anything it would be that the pictures run too far into the binding of the book (to help show the original sketchbook) and is sometimes difficult to see the pictures in all their glory.

Summary: This is the greatest historical art book I've ever read
Review: I didn't expect this book to teach me about the holocaust and world war II. I was curious of the role of Mr. Peter Malkin in capturing Adolf Eichmann. After reading the memories and looking at the woderful paintings in the book, I realize how important life is. And how woderful it is I live in a free country where things like this do not happen. I enjoyed reading the narratives and the paintings in the book, trying to imagine how it was done over 40 years ago.........it is such a good book that I would recommend it. This book is very unique, the narratives about the paintings brings the entire capture of Eichmann to life.
