A New York Times Notable Book of 2014 Smuggled out of Europe after
the collapse of Germany, Eichmann managed to live a peaceful and
active exile in Argentina for years before his capture by the
Mossad. Though once widely known by nicknames such as 'Manager of
the Holocaust', he was able to portray himself, from the
defendant's box in Jerusalem in 1960, as an overworked bureaucrat
following orders - no more, he said, than 'just a small cog in
Adolf Hitler's extermination machine'. How was this carefully
crafted obfuscation possible? How did a principal architect of the
Final Solution manage to disappear? How had he occupied himself in
hiding? Drawing upon an astounding trove of newly discovered
documentation, Stangneth gives us a chilling portrait not of a
reclusive, taciturn war criminal on the run, but of a highly
skilled social manipulator with an inexhaustible ability to
reinvent himself, an unrepentant murderer eager for acolytes to
discuss past glories and vigorously planning future goals.
