Eichmann in Jerusalem

Eichmann in Jerusalem is a book written by Hannah Arendt about a man named Adolf Eichmann. Eichmann was a Nazi official during World War II and was responsible for organizing the deportation of Jews to concentration camps. After the war, he was captured and taken to Jerusalem to stand trial for his crimes. At the trial, Hannah Arendt wrote about his speeches and the way he defended his actions. In the book, Arendt argues that Eichmann was not truly evil, but just a man who had blindly followed orders and accepted the Nazi ideology without question.
