Description
Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil is a thought-provoking analysis of the mentality that enabled the Holocaust. First published as a series of articles in The New Yorker in 1963, this revised edition includes new material and Arendt's response to controversy surrounding her account. Arendt's report on the trial of Adolf Eichmann is both shocking and informative, offering an unflinching look at one of the most unsettling issues of the twentieth century. This book provides a unique insight into the psychological and philosophical factors that contributed to the atrocities committed during this period. With its combination of journalism and intellectual analysis, Eichmann in Jerusalem remains a major work by an influential thinker.
