This highly acclaimed, prize-winning biography of one of the foremost political philosophers of the twentieth century is here reissued in a trade paperback edition for a new generation of readers.

Indispensable to anyone interested in the life, the thought, or . . . the example of Hannah Arendt.--Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
