Thirty years ago a small group of elite Israeli agents tracked down the most wanted war criminal in the world, Adolf Eichmann: the man who coined the term "the Final Solution" and personally directed the murder of millions of European Jews. The young Israeli chosen to actually make the capture and who successfully snatched Adolf Eichmann off a South American street was Peter Z. Malkin. For decades Malkin's identity as Eichmann's captor and his association with the MOSSAD was kept secret from everyone, even his family. Now, in EICHMANN IN MY HANDS, Peter Malkin tells not only the entire breathtaking story of the operation to apprehend Eichmann, but what he learned from covert conversations with him. The revelations are startling. Few other books will ever outrage you so much, or move you to tears so quickly. Perhaps no other real~life account will so appall you . and then change you forever. Here is a portrait of two men. One, an Israeli freedom fighter, struggles with the complexity of keeping his humanity in the midst of war. The other, Adolf Eichmann, is the "Good German," who~as seen here, especially in the never~revealed~before conversations between Malkin and Eichmann ~ shows us evil at its most disturbing . and its most commonplace. Peter Malkin was born in a small Polish village, grew up in Palestine, and clandestinely joined the Jewish underground when he was just twelve years old. Later, this cocky, fearless, headstrong young man became a valued member of the MOSSAD as an explosives expert, working under the legendary agent Uzi. One of their goals was to hunt down war criminals. At the top of the list was Adolf Eichmann. And in 1959 it was Uzi and his handpicked team who got the tip that Eichmann was alive and well, living with his family in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Since Malkin had lost so many of his own family in the Holocaust, his first desire was to kill his target. But because he was a professional and ~ as Uzi reminded him ~ because there was a difference between them and men like Eichmann, Malkin joined the operation to take the former SS Obersturmfuhrer alive and spirit him out of Argentina. It was during weeks of hiding in South America with Eichmann as his prisoner that Malkin disobeyed the order not to speak to the prisoner and began talking with his captive. Finally their conversations became an obsession as Malkin tried desperately to understand the nature of evil and its roots in this particular man. All the shocking facts that Malkin discovered about a man whose name is synonymous with terror and death are revealed here. As much as Adolf Eichmann will make you ashamed of what human beings can do, in EICHMANN IN MY HANDS, Peter Malkin will make you proud of what human beings can be.…
