Add to basketOne of a small number of copies of the interrogation transcripts, produced in limited numbers for members of the press covering the proceedings - "the enclosed material is to be considered 'Confidential'" (preface). Eichmann, one of the architects of the Holocaust, was captured by Mossad in Argentina in 1960, brought to trial in Jerusalem, and hanged in 1962. Captain Avner Werner Less, Commander of the Israel Police, interrogated him for 275 hours. The interrogation was taped, and typed transcripts were made and provided to Eichmann to correct and confirm. These volumes comprise a photocopy of Eichmann's annotated original typescripts, in German, with a preface in English and Hebrew by Police Commander Avraham Selinger. This set is in superior condition to the handful of other copies that appear in auction listings. 6 vols, oblong quarto. Original blue quarter cloth, green card covers lettered in black. Some sunning and soiling, stain at book block head (not into text), minor wear to spines. In very good condition.
