Is the portayal of Eichmann as a gray, unthinking and ultimately really stupid bureaucrat who just did as he was told, with no real malice, accurate?
Arendt ultimately believes this image he paints for himself at trial, but the judges thought he was lying, and some sources describe him as a fervent antisemite.
The value of Arendt's conclusions hinges on the answer to that question, which we'll probably never get.
