Book Reviews of Becoming Eichmann: Rethinking the Life, Crimes, and Trial of a "Desk Murderer"
Book Review: Portrait of a "desk murderer"
Summary: 5 Stars
A very well written book which charts Eichmann's development, life & career, from his earliest days. Analysis of how he developed from a salesman into a conduit for industrialised mass murder & deportation, offers up some interesting & at times quite chilling insights into the mind of this "desk" criminal & the way in which Nazism & the Nazi state operated & indeed influenced & shaped certain individuals.
His involvement in the Holocaust & how he helped to facilitate & make it possible is well explored & provides some chilling snapshots of a comitted Nazi.
The book gives an excellent & detailed account of his flight from Germany, life in & subsequent abduction from, Argentina & his trial in Israel.
As you might expect there are some lessons to be learned from the way in which Eichmann became involved in these heinous crimes & the fascism which spawned them.A thought provoking portrait.
