Hannah Arendt's authoritative and controversial report on the trial of German Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann first appeared as a series of articles in the New Yorker in 1963. This revised edition of Eichmann in Jerusalem contains further factual material that came to light after the trial, as well as Arendt's postscript commenting on the controversy that arose over her book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should read this book, 29 Jul 2009
'Eichmann in Jerusalem' is the perfect antidote to the all-too-common cartoonish story of the Holocaust being told today, the one in which all the leading Nazi's were demons with glowing eyes, horns and cloven hooves. Arendt makes clear - reinforcing the 'message' of another of her excellent books 'The Origins of Totalitarianism' - that leading Nazis, of whom Eichmann was one, were disturbingly 'normal', and that the potential for totalitarianism can lurk beneath the surface of almost any nation, and that people can participate in the most monstrous evil without it being merely a product of their own individual psychology (a much-needed kick in the teeth for our therapy-obsessed times) or of their personal prejudices and hates.

The overwhelming conclusion I drew from this book was that threats to our liberty (or even our lives) will not necessarily arrive goosestepping in a black shirt mouthing racial propaganda, but will instead insinuate themselves into our system in ways, and from a direction, we won't expect - and most disturbingly of all, that we might initially welcome those threats. I strongly recommend 'The Origins of Totalitarianism' as well; there are profound insights on every page, and I was amazed (given how long ago it was written) how prophetic it was.
