Eichmann Before Jerusalem: The Unexamined Life of a Mass Murderer (Template:Lang-de) is a book by Bettina Stangneth originally published in German in 2011. An edition in English appeared in 2014.[1]
The work challenges Hannah Arendt's portrayal of Adolf Eichmann in Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil as an unintelligent and thoughtless bureaucrat. Stangneth shows that Eichmann's actions were the results of intentional, well-thought-out decisions of a man who strongly subscribed to Nazi ideology and who took pride in his actions.[2][3][4][5]
