Summary: Fact is Stranger Than Fiction!
Review: Frederick Forsyth, Ken Follett and Robert Ludlum all together couldn't think up a story as amazing as this one. THE HOUSE ON GARIBALDI STREET is called a "Classic of Espionage" and it is. Isser Harel, the Chief of the Israeli Secret Services recounts in detail the amazing capture of Adolf Eichmann, "The Man In The Glass Booth" who was Hitler's senior functionary in creating and carrying out the "Final Solution" and one of the prime creators of the Holocaust. Eichmann, whose policies and personal behavior condemned six million human beings to death, was captured by Israeli agents, tried in a Court of law, and executed---the only person ever put to death by Judicial process in Israel. Hiding in Argentina under an assumed name, he was eventually caught through a combination of complacency (his family began to use their real name), bizarre coincidence (a neighborhood blind man acted as the informant after his daughter dated Eichmann's son), luck (Eichmann never caught on that he had been discovered), and incredibly hard work (the Israelis painstakingly traced him and tracked him down). This is true espionage, so real it reads like a novel. Far and away the most taut tale ever written---because it's true.

Summary: A True Classic of Espionage
Review: Isser Harel, the former head of Israel's secret service, recounts in detail the tracking down and capture of the infamous war criminal Adolph Eichmann. A highly readable, fascinating account of the tracking down and capture of this high level Nazi. Starting with an improbable lead from a blind man in Buenos Aires, the investigation is recounted in vivid detail. More thrilling than an Agatha Christie novel. A wonderful sketch of the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and bravery of the task force than succeeded in capturing him and spiriting him out of Argentina covertly on a special El Al flight for trial in Jerusalem. This account corresponds in detail to Peter Z. Malkin's 1990 book "Eichmann in My Hands," which attests to the accuracy of the details of "Operation Eichmann." Mr. Malkin was the agent who actually made first physical contact during Eichmann's capture. Both books are highly readable and entertaining.

Summary: A true intelligence coup that reads better than James Bond
Review: The kidnapping of Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann by the Israeli Mossad was one of it's most known coups of the 1960's. Eichnmann was one of Nazi Germany's most notorious war criminals, who was personally responsible for the killing of millions of Jews in occupied Europe. This book brings the story of Isser Harel, Israel's legendary intelligence spymaster who was Head of the Mossad at the time of the operation. Harel's story of this complex action is told in a simple and moving way. The editor Shlomo Shpiro, an Israeli intelligence expert, places in his detailed introduction the operation in its overall historical contex. The new books contains, for the first time, the real names of all Mossad personnel involved, as well as the astounding facts about the involvement of West Germany in this operation. A must reading not only to those interested in the hunt for Nazi criminals but also to everyone interested in real, as opposed to fictional, intelligence work.

Summary: Israeli intelligence
Review: This is a truly fantastic account of the dangerous capture mission of a sickening, awful, pathetic individual. This miserable war criminal (Adolf Eichmann), one of Hitler's top officers, changed his identity as he moved to Argentina to evade prosecution after World War II. The Israeli intelligence unit set up a surveillance system, unknown to the Argentine people. They then approached the murderer near his home, threw him in a car, and held him in a safe house until putting him on a plane to stand trial in the Promised Land. It is a page-turning experience, which will keep you interested and in awe of the brilliant individuals and the magnitudes of their daring operation.
