About This Item
London: Da Capo Press, 2004 9780306814761. Hardback re-issue of book first published by William Heinemann. VG/Fine. DW is NOT price-clipped. 8vo; Glossary; Index; Sources; Bibliography 458 pp. Cesarani is a respected historian who has produced a thought- provoking reappraisal of the life and murderous career of Eichmann which avoids knee jerk reactions and glib, superficial generalisations. The spine of this book is creased but otherwise it is a very good copy with no annotations or inscriptions. British historian Ian Kershaw wrote that he commended Cesarani's "expert guidance through the web of lies, deceit, and contradictions built into Eichmann's various tendentious accounts of his life and career". Kershaw says that Cesarani's "revision of Arendt's interpretation is surely correct" in arguing that "Eichmann was a convinced anti-Semitic ideologue in a key position where he himself could initiate action and make things happen" rather than a bureaucrat accepting orders. .
