" 50 years later, Lipstadt revisits the Eichmann Trial. She covers the crimes, the capture and the trial with all the necessary details but very little extras. However, she seems more concern upon revisiting questions of collaboration, active resistance, and passivity that absorbed the Jewish community at that time. This becomes annoying for the general reader. And this continues when she examines Hannah Arendt's coverage of the trial. Not only does she revisit the collaboration debate but then debates unique the Jewish character of the Holocaust versus a non-specific genocide, Arendt's view. Thus missing Arendt's main contribution to the study of genocide and/or evil ... the banality of evil. For a quick overview of the trial, Lipstadt does a great job but for a critical assessment she remains within the Jewish cultural milieu. "
