Another batch of links for you. Not so much this week, as I’m working on revising the thesis. Of particular note, though, are The Long Road to Eichmann’s Arrest: A War Criminal’s Life in Argentina and A Triumph of Justice: On the Trail of Holocaust Organizer Adolf Eichmann. True, it’s a depressing subject, but well worth reading.
