Blurb: “"The task she sets for herself far transcends the crimes of one man since it deals with the greatest problem of our time... the problem of the human being within a modern totalitarian system....Our best protection against oppressive control and dehumanizing totalitarianism is still a personal understanding of events as they happen. To this end Hannah Arendt has furnished us with a richness of material."
-Bruno Bettelheim, The New Republic
"Highly personal and impulsively written, this book... reflects great courage, great independence of mind, and...a shining humanity.... Far from being 'soulless,' it reflects not only its author's brilliant analytical gifts, but compassion, outrage, and a true sense of tragedy.",
-Frederic S. Burin, Political Science Quarterly
"It is the great merit of this book that it shows, through a profound and documented analysis of the issues and the historic background of the Eichmann trial, what evil really is.... This book...is bound to stir our minds and trouble our consciences."
-Hans Morgenthau, Chicago Tribune
Selected as one of the 50 Notable Books of 1963 by the American Library Association
Hannah Arendt covered the Eichmann trial for The New Yorker, where her report first appeared as a series of articles in
1963. For this revised edition of Eichmann in Jerusalem, the author has added further factual material that has come to light since the trial, and a Postscript commenting on the controversy that has arisen over her book.”
