Eichmann: His Life and Crimes
by David Cesarani
352 pp, Heinemann, £20
Through Hannah Arendt's New Yorker coverage of his trial in 1961 and
her book Eichmann in Jerusalem, Adolf Eichmann is remembered mostly
for her famous catchphrase, "the banality of evil". It was a
persuasive if erroneous reading. There was very little banal about
Eichmann, though at his trial most expressed disappointment at his
insignificance. Where was the strutting SS officer in his death's-head
cap who had boasted of killing millions of Jews? Only Harold
Rosenberg, writing in Commentary, noted a level of calculation in his
performance, "created over the years for just this courtroom
situation".
