from German by Ralph Manheim, intro. by Avner W. Less, — Eichmann Interrogated: transcripts from the Archives of the Israeli Police.

NY, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, (1983). 1st ed. VG in VG DJ. Nine days after he was captured in a suburb of Buenos Aires, Eichmann was flown to Israel and turned over to Israeli Police. He was interrogated by Capt. Avner Less for a total of 275 hours (3,564 typewritten pages). About 10% of the transcript is presented verbatim, along with commentaray by Jochen von Lang. The book focuses on the scope and nature of Nazi crimes and on his efforts to project an image of himself that the world could not condemn. Eichmann insists on his absolute truthfulness and professes sympathy for the Zionist cause and an abhorrence of cruelty. Small tear to bottom edge of DJ front.
