Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil
Sparking a flurry of heated debate, Hannah Arendt's authoritative and stunning 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 includes material that came to light after the trial, as well as Arendt's postscript directly addressing the controversy that arose over her account. A major journalistic triumph by an intellectual of singular influence, Eichmann in Jerusalem is as shocking as it is informative--an unflinching look at one of the most unsettling (and unsettled) issues of the twentieth century.

@lexfridman Fun list. Hard not to make it sound like bragging, but I've honestly read and enjoyed almost everything on that list. Especially endorse Anne Frank & Machiavelli from the "maybe" list. For a very different view from Frank, Hannah Arendt's "Eichmann in Jerusalem" is also great

"I have always been struck by this anecdote from Hannah Arendt’s Eichmann in Jerusalem: while awaiting trial, Adolf Eichmann was handed a copy of Lolita by a prison guard. He indignantly returned it two days later, saying: 'Quite an unwholesome book.' " https://t.co/Kmdn1CmZcb

IMHO Hannah Arendt’s book “Eichmann in Jerusalem: a report on the banality of evil” and the lessons therein should be read more …🤔🤔🤔
