Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil
Arendt, Hannah. Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. New York: Penguin Books, 2006.
Why this matters here
Arendt's report on Eichmann confronts how ordinary administrative posture can absorb harm as an acceptable byproduct of maintaining order. When Authority Outlives Accountability takes that diagnosis as a measure of moral posture: was harm treated as something to prevent, or as an operational risk to manage?
