**Argentina, 1960. A car speeds through the streets of Buenos
Aires. Inside are four Israeli secret agents and their prisoner:
one of the most notorious war criminals of Nazi Germany. The Mossad
operatives need to get this man, Adolf Eichmann, back to Israel to
be tried for his crimes. Holding Eichmann's head in his lap is the
leader of this ambitious mission, Rafi Eitan, whom Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later described as one of the heroes of
Israeli intelligence'.** In this fast-paced and detailed memoir,
Rafi Eitan tells the story of his remarkable life and career as an
elite soldier and spymaster. He describes how as a teenager, he
smuggled Jewish refugees into Palestine as part of the Palmach unit
and how, as a spy in the newly established Mossad, he swam through
sewers to blow up a British radar station, earning the name Rafi
the Stinker'. He goes on to describe in detail his involvement in
the extraordinary hunt for the Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann.
Eitan's espionage career eventually ended over his involvement in
the controversial Jonathan Pollard espionage affair, which sparked
intense debate over Israel's relations with the US. Packed with new
insights into Eitan's role at the heart of Israeli military and
intelligence organisations, this is a gripping read and essential
reading for anyone interested in espionage history and the daring
operation to capture Adolf Eichmann.
