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

byStephan Talty

Stephan Talty uses The Good Assassin to investigate how a Mossad Agent and a Band of Survivors Hunted Down the Butcher of Latvia through a carefully framed historical account. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and political science. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
