It is a fascinating book that I definitely recommend A large part of the book is an account of the Sassen interviews which in fact were no such thing Sassen hosted a long series of group discussions in his house attended by Eichmann as well as by a lot of other fugitive Nazis and sympathisers using their real names They discussed everything to do with the holocaust including working through books about it page by page It wasn t always cordial either The discussions were recorded and typed up over 1000 pages survive as well as many of the tapes Eichmann also wrote a large amount himself most never published
