Rafi Eitan was the Mossad honcho in charge of capturing Eichmann.

True, if you mean he was one of the guys who actually grabbed Eichmann off the street and rode off to the safe house in the getaway car holding the monster who had been going by the name “Ricardo Klement.”

The man who planned and staffed the mission, however, was Isser Harel, who was head of Mossad at that time. His account of the capture of Eichmann is entitled, “The House on Garibaldi Street.” (A more recent and more detailed book on the subject came out last year, but I can’t remember the title.)
