William L. Hull's The Struggle for a Soul is a gripping and deeply reflective account of his experience as the spiritual counselor to Adolf Eichmann, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust, during his trial, conviction, and execution in Israel. As a Canadian pastor, Hull was given rare access to Eichmann in his final days, engaging in profound discussions about guilt, justice, and redemption with a man whose actions had led to the deaths of millions. Hull's account goes beyond the historical facts of the trial, offering a rare and personal glimpse into the psychology of a war criminal facing the ultimate reckoning. He explores Eichmann's attempts to justify his past, his detachment from the horrors he orchestrated, and his refusal to accept moral responsibility. Through these conversations, Hull confronts the nature of evil, the possibility of repentance, and the limits of spiritual salvation in the face of unimaginable crimes. A powerful meditation on justice, morality, and the human capacity for both cruelty and grace, The Struggle for a Soul is not only an eyewitness account of one of history's most infamous figures but also a profound ethical inquiry into whether true redemption is possible for those who have committed the worst atrocities. Hull's reflections make this book an essential read for historians, theologians, and anyone seeking to understand the complexities of conscience, judgment, and the struggle for the human soul.
