Award-winning historian Deborah Lipstadt gives us a
com?pelling reassessment of the groundbreaking trial that has
become a touchstone for judicial proceedings throughout the world
in which victims of genocide confront its perpetrators. 
　　The capture of SS Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Eich?mann by Israeli
agents in Argentina in May of 1960 and his subsequent trial in Tel
Aviv by an Israeli court electrified the world. The public debate
it sparked on where, how, and by whom Nazi war criminals should be
brought to justice, and the international media cov?erage of the
trial itself, is recognized as a watershed moment in how the
civilized world in general and Ho?locaust survivors in particular
found the means to deal with the legacy of genocide on a scale that
had never been seen before. 
　　In The Eichmann Trial, award-winning historian Deborah Lipstadt
gives us an overview of the trial and analyzes the dramatic effect
that the testimony of sur?vivors in a court of law—which was itself
not without controversy—had on a world that had until then
regu?larly commemorated the Holocaust but never fully understood
the millions who died and the hundreds of thousands who managed to
survive. 
　　As the world continues to confront the ongoing reality of
genocide and ponder the fate of those who survive it, this “trial
of the century” offers a legal, moral, and political framework for
coming to terms with unfathomable evil and with those who
perpe?trate it. In The Eichmann Trial, Lipstadt infuses a gripping
narrative with historical perspective and con?temporary
urgency.
