The Nazi Hunters
The Nazi Hunters | Neal Bascomb
8 posts | 10 read | 3 to read
A thrilling spy mission, a moving Holocaust story, and a first-class work of narrative nonfiction. In 1945, at the end of World War II, Adolf Eichmann, the head of operations for the Nazis' 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.

A solid 4 ⭐️ IMO. Bascomb keeps the reader engaged with novel-like pacing and structure. I love history, and I‘m seeing more and more historians embrace this ethos. They are seeing the value in good storytelling, not just in-depth research.

The Holocaust of WWII is one of the darkest chapters in human history. This book describes the search for Adolf Eichmann - one of the architects of the Holocaust who disappeared after the war - and his eventual trial that brought to the light more horrors of the Holocaust. It's so important that humanity remember this dark time so we never, ever allow such evil again. These stories are difficult to read but have lessons we shouldn't forget.

I was excited to read a ya nonfiction book about this topic and had high hopes, but it read a little like a textbook to me. I just never got into it.

Kinda disappointed in the book. It just felt long and overwritten for a story that could have been really intriguing.
