The Nazi Hunters Book Review by Difan Li
The Nazi Hunters, written by Neal Bascomb, is a nonfiction pieces describing the capture and trial of an infamous German Nazi, Adolf Eichmann. After World War II, many high-ranking members of the German government that were closely involved with Adolf Hitler and his plans fled the country, knowing that they would be hunted down. Eichmann, in charge of the mass murder of millions during the Holocaust, no was exception. The book follows through the journey of the Mossad, an Israeli group of spies that track him down and bring him back to Israel to face a fair trial for his crimes. More than just finding and capturing Eichmann, the group and several helping members along with way had to secretly transport him from Argentina to Israel without alerting the government for fear of retaliation. Though plans often went awry, through determination and perseverance and the unstoppable desire to bring justice, these people came together to create a historical event, reminding us to never forget the victims of World War II and the Holocaust. Written in a way that is both engaging and interesting, this book may greatly appeal to those who usually find themselves avoiding nonfiction in fear of pages and pages of dull text. The book provides various images of people or official documents involved in the journey, helping you to build together a great visual and follow along to the story-like style of the book.
