A spy mission, a Holocaust tale, and a first-class work of
nonfiction.
In 1945, at the end of World War II, Adolf Eichmann, the head of
operations for the Final Solution, walked into the mountains of Germany
and vanished from view. Sixteen years later, an elite team of spies
captured him at a bus stop in Argentina and smuggled him to Israel,
resulting in one of the century's most important trials--one that
cemented the Holocaust in the public imagination.
The Nazi Hunters is the thrilling and fascinating story of what
happened between these two events. Survivor Simon Wiesenthal opened
Eichmann's case; a blind Argentinean and his teenage daughter provided
crucial information. Finally, the Israeli spies--many of whom lost
family in the Holocaust--embarked on their daring mission, recounted
here in full. Based on the adult bestseller Hunting Eichmann, which is
now in development as a major film, and illustrated with powerful photos
throughout, The Nazi Hunters is a can't-miss work of narrative
nonfiction for middle-grade and YA readers.
