Reviews

Bernard Bergen has written a thoughtful, clear inquiry into the key concepts and interpretations that make up Hannah Arendt's theory of totalitarianism. He approaches her Eichmann in Jerusalem with rare balance of judgment and sensitivity.
*Elisabeth Young-Bruehl, Haverford College; author of Anna Freud: A Biography*

The Banality of Evil ...is interesting exploration of Arendt's thought. ...it is worth considering seriously.
*Studies In Contemporary Jewry*

[Bergen] offers a fresh interpretation of the controversial phrase 'the banality of evil.'
