AlbakiReads Editorial

A trial report that became a debate

Hannah Arendt’s account of Adolf Eichmann’s trial examines the mentality associated with the Holocaust and the questions raised by the proceedings. First published as a series of articles in The New Yorker in 1963, the book combines reportage with analysis of a consequential historical event. This revised edition adds material that emerged after the trial and includes a postscript in which Arendt addresses the controversy surrounding her account. Its subject and structure place the trial itself alongside the public debate over how it was interpreted.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Holocaust history and the Eichmann trial.
  • Readers studying twentieth-century history, political thought, or historical journalism.
  • Readers seeking an account that includes both trial coverage and Arendt’s response to the debate it generated.

Book overview

The controversial journalistic analysis of the mentality that fostered the Holocaust, from the author of The Origins of Totalitarianism

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.
