Brilliant and disturbing Stephen Spender, New York Review of Books

The classic work on "the banality of evil" and a journalistic masterpiece. Hannah Arendt's impressive and chilling report on the trial of Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann was initially published as a series of articles in the New Yorker in 1963. This edition includes material that came to light after the trial, as well as Arendt's letter addressing the controversy that arose from her report. An important journalistic achievement by an influential thinker, this classic depiction of the banality of evil is as shocking as it is informative - an unrelenting look at one of the most chilling issues of the twentieth century.

"Deals with the greatest problem of our time ... the problem of man in a modern totalitarian system" Bruno Bettelheim
