Malkin’s memoir of how he and his Mossad team picked up Eichmann’s trail in Buenos Aires, infiltrated Argentina, snatched Eichmann (Malkin himself did the takedown, as he was a black belt in judo), and then spirited Eichmann out of the country to face justice in Israel has been adapted into an excellent film w/ Robert Duvall as Eichmann and Arliss Howard as Malkin. Recommended.
