Simon Wiesenthal : The Life And Legends
by Tom Segev

After being in several concentration camps during WWII and surviving them, Simon Wiesenthal became known as the "Nazi hunter" and tracked down numerous criminals. His most famous catch was Eichmann who was found in Argentina.
Wiesenthal, though, was very controversial. He had a habit of embellishing his stories and/or making them up. Apparently, for almost every report that he wrote on major catches, there were several different versions.
Alas, I didn't get very far to read all of them. The book is quite large (over 400 pages) and extremely detailed. Tom Segev is a historian and an Israeli journalist and it shows. There's way too many facts (some irrelevant) and the writing is disjointed. After reading 30 pages, I was exhausted. Perhaps someone else can tackle Wiesenthal's life and be a much better author.
