Major themes
Theme 1
If you do a bunch of terrible things, it will end up catching to you. You can't just run away from your problems and think you can escape them. Adolf Eichmann killed millions of Jews in the Holocaust, and then ran away trying to avoid his fate. He did escape, but his karma ended up catching up to him. I think that the author believes in karma and that your actions will eventually catch up to you. Whenever Eichmann was hung nobody felt bad for him because he had killed millions of people and deserved to die. The author sends the message that you will get what you deserve in the end.
Theme 2
Whenever the spies plan out the attack to capture Eichmann, they are extremely specific and detailed in their operation. If they made one little mistake, the whole mission could be ruined and they would be exposed. The author is trying to send the message that if you are going to do something, do it right. You need to put maximum effort into everything you do if you want to be successful. If you put in the effort, then you will most likely get what you want. This book taught me not to overlook anything. If you are trying to plan something big, every little step is important. The author believes that being detailed and precise will get the job done.
