On May 11, 1960, in a suburb of Buenos Aires, Ricardo Klement was kidnapped. With his consent he was smuggled to Israel, there to face trial in the spring of 1961 as Adolf Eichmann, the arch-murderer of Nazism, a man indicted at the Nuremburg trials, it was thought posthumously, for the systematic extermination of six million human beings, men women and children; for his responsibility for the organization of the mass shootings, the gas chambers, the furnaces, the drownings, the medical experiments; for Belsen, Auschwitz, Dachau, and Ravensbruck. He was the administrator of the Final Solution, the liquidation of the worlds Jewry.
Katz and Aldouby were both ex-members of an Israeli underground movement, devoted for many years to the compilation of the most complete dossier of Eichmann in existence. Photographs, affidavits, testimonies, were gathered together; secret Nazi documents, even Eichmanns tape-recorded memoirs, were traced, borrowed, copied and studied and, on the capture of their subject, were placed in the hands of Quentin Reynolds. The result is this most authoritative and unique book. A biography which traces the life from schooldays to a well guarded prison in Israel of an insignificant Nazi who became Hitler's Minister of Death.
