reading

I've more or less finished Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem (I still need to read the afterword) and have started Joseph Persico's Nuremberg, which I picked up because I wanted something about the trials and this book, bought secondhand at the store where I work, was cheap.

Nuremberg is told as a narrative (based, Persico insists, entirely on documentary evidence even when he narrates what Person X was thinking). ( After Arendt's cool intellectual rigor )
