Book Title: Simon Wiesenthal: The Life and Legend
"A marvelous achievement." —The Economist
Tom Segev is a historian and a weekly columnist for Ha'aretz, Israel's leading newspaper. He is author of six books that have been translated in seven languages, including The Seventh Million: The Israelis and the Holocaust, and One Palestine, Complete: Jews and Arabs under the British Mandate, a New York Times editors' choice for best book of 2000. His newest book, Simon Wiesenthal: The Life and Legends, is the first fully documented biography of Simon Wiesenthal, revealing the fascinating truth behind this simultaneously admired, despised, and feared hunter of Nazis. In this definitive biography, Tom Segev has obtained access to Wiesenthal's hundreds of thousands of private papers and archives, including records of the U.S., Israeli, Polish, and East German secret services. Segev is able to reveal the intriguing secrets of Wiesenthal's life, including his stunning role in the capture of Adolf Eichmann, his controversial investigative techniques, and the nature of his rivalry with Elie Wiesel.
