100 Pages A Day...Stephanie's Book Reviews

"As I sat there I could not believe that this boring, average-looking man with his receding hairline and large glasses- a man who looked like thousands of petty clerks the world over- had been responsible for the deaths of six million of my fellow Jews. "

Six Million Accusers: Catching Adolf Eichman is a documentary novel that recounts the Mossad operation to locate, capture and bring to trial Adolf Eichmann. The story is mostly told through the point of view of Haim A., one member of the Mossad team that was responsible for his capture. Haim's character is perfect for the job, he is able to speak several different languages and is a mechanic. Haim would also like revenge on one of the men who pushed him family out of their homeland.

Through meticulous research, David Lawrence-Young has recreated this suspenseful operation. What I got most out of this book was an education, and that is why I love reading historical fiction. I did know that many former Nazi were found and tried for their crimes years after the war, but I had no idea who Adolf Eichman was, his role in the Holocaust or the lengths that were gone to in order to locate him. A wonderfully, written historical drama that may not have all of the adventures and excitement of fictional novels, but accurately recounts the story of the capture of Adolf Eichmann.

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.

This can be my 'Stand Alone Novel' for Summer Bingo!
