Eichmann in Jerusalem

From the author of The Origins of Totalitarianism, this book is an authoritative and stunning analysis of the mentality that fostered the Holocaust. It was first published as a series of articles in The New Yorker in 1963, after the trial of German Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann. In this revised edition, Arendt includes material that came to light after the trial as well as her postscript directly addressing the controversy that arose over her account. A journalistic triumph by an intellectual of singular influence, Eichmann in Jerusalem is shocking and informative—a look at one of the most unsettling issues of the twentieth century.
