內容簡介

Award-winning historian Deborah Lipstadt gives us acom?pelling reassessment of the groundbreaking trial that hasbecome a touchstone for judicial proceedings throughout the worldin which victims of genocide confront its perpetrators.
  The capture of SS Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Eich?mann by Israeliagents in Argentina in May of 1960 and his subsequent trial in TelAviv by an Israeli court electrified the world. The public debateit sparked on where, how, and by whom Nazi war criminals should bebrought to justice, and the international media cov?erage of thetrial itself, is recognized as a watershed moment in how thecivilized world in general and Ho?locaust survivors in particularfound the means to deal with the legacy of genocide on a scale thathad never been seen before.
  In The Eichmann Trial, award-winning historian Deborah Lipstadtgives us an overview of the trial and analyzes the dramatic effectthat the testimony of sur?vivors in a court of law—which was itselfnot without controversy—had on a world that had until thenregu?larly commemorated the Holocaust but never fully understoodthe millions who died and the hundreds of thousands who managed tosurvive.
  As the world continues to confront the ongoing reality ofgenocide and ponder the fate of those who survive it, this “trialof the century” offers a legal, moral, and political framework forcoming to terms with unfathomable evil and with those whoperpe?trate it. In The Eichmann Trial, Lipstadt infuses a grippingnarrative with historical perspective and con?temporaryurgency.
