(germany) Bettina Stönnet

362K0

In the 1960s, after attending the Jerusalem Trial, the philosopher Arendt proposed the concept of "banality of evil" based on the image of Eichmann she saw - a small cog in a huge system who only knew how to obey orders without thinking of his own. However, after analyzing a large amount of first-hand information, Stonnet discovered that Eichmann was by no means an ordinary Nazi official who obeyed blindly, but a murderer who was good at disguise and unrepentant. This book not only corrects the long-standing misunderstanding of Eichmann, but also restores the escape network formed by the Nazis and the remaining far-right elements after the war, presents vivid fragments of the Federal Republic of Germany, and reveals the true face of the Nazi circle in America.
