Spy Book


I just finished consuming Neal Bascomb's amazing account of espionage. Hunting Eichmann: How a Band of Survivors and a Young Spy Agency Chased Down the World's Most Notorious Nazi. Eichmann, who may have been personally responsible for the slaughter of more than a million people, was hunted for over fifteen years by the young Israeli spy agency after WWII. He was discovered in Argentina living under an alias, captured, and brought to trial in Israel, where he was tried and convicted and executed.

I would not be surprised if this historic account is made into a movie (Spielberg?) and is itself captured for the world to remember.
