Ebook About
Inspiration for the hit new podcast "Hunting the Butcher"The untold story of an Israeli spy’s epic journey to bring the notorious Butcher of Latvia to justice—a case that altered the fates of all ex-Nazis. Before World War II, Herbert Cukurs was a famous figure in his small Latvian city, the “Charles Lindbergh of his country”. But he was soon better known as the Butcher of Latvia, a man who murdered some thirty thousand Jews. By 1965, a statute of limitations on Nazi war crimes threatened to expire, potentially absolving ex-Nazis like Cukurs of their crimes. Jacob Medad, the misfit Mossad agent who had previously kidnapped Adolf Eichmann, knew if Cukurs was not captured soon, he may never be brought to justice. In a thrilling undercover operation, Medad traveled to Cukurs’ new home in Brazil in an elaborate disguise, befriended him, and earned his trust, while negotiations to extend Nazi innocence neared a boiling point.

Book The Good Assassin: How a Mossad Agent and a Band of Survivors Hunted Down the Butcher of Latvia Review :



Oftentimes I'll order a book and take a chance on a subject I'm not familiar with. This story of The Good Assassin was one I found interesting to the end. Herbert Cukurs became known as The Butcher of Latvia due to his savage and murderous treatment of Jewish people in the country of Latvia when they were invaded by the Germans in World War II. Part one deals with the horrific details of man's inhumanity to Jewish men, women, and children in Latvia led by Herbert Cukurs who certainly earned his infamous moniker. Part two deals with the plan to organize and bring to justice this heathen to humanity who chimed in that if he didn't serve the role he played he would have been killed along with the Jews. HIs family defended his honor and claimed his innocence. Jacob McDad (Mio) led the group determined to bring Cukurs to justice by assassination in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1965. Author Stephan Talty goes into great detail in Mio's gaining the confidence of the paranoid Cukurs who always carried a revolver with him. Despite the minute attention to minor details for the group of men assigned to take down Cukurs things rarely go as planned. I couldn't help but wonder how this assassination attempt would have turned out had there not been a hammer been left on the floor of this abandoned residence.Mio felt disappointed that he was never promoted for his efforts and we are not told which of the involved men delivered the decisive blows to bring down the muscular Herbert Cukurs The book concludes with what the future held for many of the characters who survived the barbaric treatment in Latvia. The book contains eight pages of photographs..
This history recounts three very much related but, in a sense, also quite different series of events. Seeing the Germans as saviors from Communists occupiers, the people of Riga, Latvia not only welcomed the German army, but many, literally overnight, began to out-German the Germans in the brutality of their treatment of their longtime Jewish neighbors. Though it made no difference to their victims, the author notes that many Latvians were motivated more by greed and taking revenge on Communists than simply killing Jews because they were Jews, the latter the garden variety anti-Semitism pervading that part of the world. The barbarism demonstrated by so many otherwise inconsequential people living inconsequential lives in an essentially inconsequential country is difficult to read. The centerpiece of the barbarism, and of the book, is the oily Herbert Cukors, the “Lindbergh of Latvia”. (To the author’s credit, he avoids what must have been the temptation to draw parallels between Lindbergh and Cukors that involved matters other than long-distance solo flights.). Cukors appears to befriend the Jews of Riga before the Germans take over; he then goes on to himself murder and/or direct the murders of some 30,000 Jewish men, women and children; as the war ends, he trods a well-worn path to Brazil, with the help of some sympathizers in the Catholic Church, claiming on arrival to be a political refugee; he makes himself a good life there which ends later than it should have. That his family, despite all the evidence to the contrary, defended him throughout his comfortable life in Brazil as a good man being unfairly hounded is no surprise - such was the party line for the families many war criminals hiding out in South America and elsewhere, including in the US. What is surprising, and what is telling about Latvia today, is that Cukors remains something of a hero in that small country. In 2014 a musical celebrating the life of this basically subhuman character was well received in Latvia as evidence, as the author puts it, of Cukors being “only the latest Latvian victim of the Jews”.The second and third parts of the book are to some extent written in parallel - they are the story of the extraordinary work of the Mossad agents who tracked Cukors down and played to his many weaknesses to lure him to his death alongside a race against time as German legislators were deciding whether or not to extend the statute of limitations on war crimes beyond 1965. The Cukors case, including the overwhelming evidence of his horrific crimes as well as his assassination by Mossad agents, was the subject of much press coverage in Germany and throughout the world as the legislators were deliberating the statute of limitations issue. That story, the story of the debate over whether or not the statute should be extended and how Cukors and his crimes may have been factors in the outcome is, standing alone, reason enough to read this compelling book.
