This highly original book is the first to explore the political and philosophical consequences of Hannah Arendt's concept of _the banality of evil,_ a term she used to describe Adolph Eichmann, architect of the Nazi _final solution._ According to Bernard J. Bergen, the questions that preoccupied Arendt were the meaning and significance of the Nazi genocide to our modern times.
