Publisher Description
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.

“Draw[s] on a wealth of sources that include original interviews…Tension rises from the pages, thanks to Bascomb’s command of pacing, judicious use of quoted material…and strong descriptions. It’s nonfiction as thriller.”
— Kirkus Reviews -
“This spy story displays all of the characteristics of the genre…The plot is timed to the second to kidnap Eichmann…[and] fosters the kind of tension only a well-written thriller can create.”
— VOYA -
“Bascomb has shortened and changed much of the language of his successful 2009 adult title Hunting Eichmann but kept every bit of the suspense…This is a splendid example of fascinating storytelling blended with significant historical events.”
— Booklist -
“In this thrilling James Bond–style book, Bascomb includes daring escapes, fake identities, captures, secret rooms constructed within houses, a human-size storage compartment in a caterer’s cart, secret missions, and action normally seen in spy thrillers…While the story reads easily, the content is deep and I would highly recommend it.”
