From Publishers Weekly
For the Eichmann trial's 50th anniversary, Emory Holocaust studies professor Lipstadt (History on Trial: My Day in Court with David Irving) trains her gaze on this watershed event in Jewish history. Israeli attorney general Gideon Hausner, a commercial lawyer, lacked criminal or courtroom expertise, but Lipstadt contends that despite a couple of courtroom blunders, Hausner presented overwhelming incriminating evidence to prove that Eichmann's claim that he was just a low-level bureaucrat was a lie. Moreover, Hausner's decision to place victims' testimony center stage gave survivors an iconic authority. Lipstadt discounts critics who say Hausner failed to elicit an admission of guilt from Eichmann, believing it didn't matter because a confession from a brazen liar is worthless. In Eichmann's memoirs, contrary to claims made by Hannah Arendt, Lipstadt finds that he expresses himself as an inveterate Nazi and anti-Semite fully committed to his leaders' goals. Lipstadt also finds Arendt's famous New Yorker reportage on the trial disturbing because Arendt failed to reveal that she was absent for much of the trial, writing from transcripts that cannot convey subtleties of demeanor witnessed in court. This is a penetrating and authoritative dissection of a landmark case and its after effects. (Mar.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Review
“The Eichmann Trial makes an excellent primer on a landmark event. With impressive authority and commendable concision, Lipstadt frames and explores to its known ends the vast universe of moral quandaries thrown open by the Eichmann trial. In so doing, she makes a welcome contribution to our record of the twentieth century’s most horrifying and depressing episode.”—The Washington Post “The Eichmann Trial is both riveting and nuanced, and should be required reading for anyone who does not wish to wade through eight volumes of trial transcripts.”—The Jerusalem Post Magazine “Scrupulously researched . . . a comprehensive and serious but highly readable report of the trial [that is] nothing less than a page-turner. Beginning with Eichmann’s cloak-and-dagger capture in Argentina, through the events leading up to the trial, to the details of the trial (surprisingly fascinating, even fifty years later), Lipstadt knows how to move a story along. [She is] expert at parsing moments in history that are not easy to understand. . . . A tour-de-force.”—The Jewish Week“Lipstadt has done a great service by untethering the [Eichmann] trial from Hannah Arendt’s polarizing presence, recovering the event as a gripping legal drama, as well as a hinge moment in Israel’s history and in the world’s delayed awakening to the magnitude of the Holocaust. . . . Her conclusions about Eichmann in Jerusalem are rendered calmly and with devastating fairness.” —Franklin Foer, The New York Times Book Review “A thoughtfully researched and clearly written account of the courtroom proceedings and of the debates spurred by the trial.”—David Pryce-Jones, The Wall Street Journal “Contains interesting and informative insights on this historic trial . . . [it is] a valuable contribution to an ever-increasing library of Eichmann books.”—Washington Independent Review of Books “An authoritative analysis of the historical and legal issues involved in a trial of international significance. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal“Having covered the Eichmann trial myself, I can warmly recommend Deborah Lipstadt’s important analysis of its fascinating perspectives.”—Elie Wiesel“A penetrating and authoritative dissection of a landmark case and its after effects.”—Publishers Weekly“Just in time for its fiftieth anniversary, renowned historian Deborah Lipstadt has reworked the Eichmann trial. This book is a powerfully written testimony to our ongoing fascination with the proceedings, the resonance of survivor tales, and how both changed our understanding of justice after atrocity.”—David Gergen, professor, Harvard Kennedy School“An excellent work of historical and political analysis by an accomplished writer. Compellingly written, it grips the reader from its opening pages. With this book, Deborah Lipstadt consolidates her standing as one of the major figures in the Jewish world today.”—Anthony Julius, author of Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Anti-Semitism in England

As Lipstadt placed the information about the libel suit against her in the book's intro, I feel that it did follow along with her motivations for her purposes in writing the book and taking a lead in the research on the holocaust. However, I would much rather she spent more of the time in this incredibly small volume on the true topic, as indicated by the title. I would much rather read about her memoires and background WITH a giant amount of information FOLLOWING her personal experience. They do combine the present and past well, but she does not go into detail enough regarding the past... and disqualifies (using HINDSIGHT and sparse evidence and little if no explanation for her remarks) many well-respected researchers, Nazi hunters, and others who not only had good intentions but did use the endless but unorganized information that was available in all of its vagueness to the best of their abilities: including the famed (and deservedly so) Simon Weisenthal. Her divisiveness regarding him and others who committed their lives to holocaust awareness and research was shocking...and not explained in an unbiased way. The question is "WHY?" Rather than finding a way to fuse speculation among those types of admirable legends with what was actually a fairly well-supported (yes, supported even in research and documentaries produced in the 2000's) estimates is almost unforgivable. Why, one wonders, is it so important to attack or deride Weisenthal and others is a great wonder. Disowning those who repeatedly tried to relate their incoming information on fugitive Nazis to the Allied nations, the UN, and the Israeli government is just so capricious and odd. There is, forgive me, a great deal of near "bit-xx-iness". As a woman I feel free to remark on the combative and disrepectful treatment of the Jewish heroes of the 1960's and 70's.Other speculations made by good men of the past are dismissively tossed away as "incorrect" without any explanations on her part, even in footnote form.The truth is, she could have taken a note from Robert Conot's lengthy but thorough book Justice at Nuremberg. Details are what make history fully-faceted, but lack of proof for conclusions is inexcusable in a historian worth his or her salt. Very unhappy with the book in general. It does, as some reviewers point out, take on more of an self-referential and biased style with plenty of memoire rather than a true account that holds water. There are a lot of laurels being laid upon, and I am so disappointed. If anything this is "History Lite."
It's difficult to approach Eichmann objectively and Dr. Lipstadt doesn't. Rather than an historical description of Eichmann's trial, the author offers more of a commentary with frequent allusions to her own fascinating civil trial against Holocaust denier David Irving. That case is worthy of its own book, which indeed, Dr. Lipstadt has written, but not what I was expecting to find here.
Highly original, an important counter to misconceptions about "the banality of evil" as pertains to the Holocost, emotionally powerful and a fabulous read.
I recall the Eichmann trial, but this book provides not only detail on the actual trial but the historical background and results of the trial. It is fascinating to read of the tensions within the Jewish community over the conduct of the trial. Likewise, it is fascinating to read of the powerfully increased understanding of Holocaust survivors which results from the trail. And I found her discussion of Hannah Arendt deeply engaging. While this is not a long book, it covers the subject well.Much of this book is painful to read-recalling the horrors of the Holocaust. And much of this book is satisfying to read-seeing the great changes which came from the trial. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand more about this part of our collective past.
This is a personal response or rebuttal of sorts to Arendt, as well as a reflection of the author's own trial and comparison of the same to the Eichmann trial.Although well steeped in the topic, I still learned plenty -- in particular the real-time reaction to the capture and trial as it was happening and the criticism of same from both American Jewish and non-Jewish quarters. I also found the the whole topic of how we were coming to terms with survivors and transitioning from "displaced persons" to the Holocaust and what that meant to be very insightful and well-done.Though not essential, Ms. Lipstadt offers a different perspective and one well worth exploring.
