After reading Neal Bascomb’s Hunting Eichmann (see my capsule review), a natural question is: what further interest do I have in Adolf Eichmann? For a long time, I’ve assumed my interest was great, since Eichmann remains one of the key laboratory specimens for exploring the key question about the Nazis: how could they? But Bascomb’s bibliography is bewilderingly long and I still haven’t been able to make myself read The Kindly Ones. For the moment, Eichmann goes on hold.
