“A lucidly presented work… [which] represents biography at its best…. It is also quite a story.” –Peter Berger, The New York Times Book Review front page
“A philosophical biography, with new and illuminating details and a fine empathetic sense of how [Arendt’s] private life and her public roles and her works were intertwined…. This is an evocation of a milieu and of a person whose intellectual courage and energy were legendary, and whose achievement is for the first time fully examined in this work.” –Foreign Affairs
“Young-Bruehl gives us the story of a woman so thoroughly of her time and circumstances that she epitomizes a historical moment…. [Her] thorough, beautifully written, erudite presentation of Hannah Arendt wisely emphasizes her signal contribution to philosophy and to political theory.” –Julia Epstein, The Philadelphia Inquirer Books/Leisure
“An adventure story that moves from pre-Nazi Germany to fame in the United States, and… a study of the influences that shaped a sharp political awareness.”—Richmond (Va.) Times Dispatch
“A thorough, interesting, and perceptive biography.” –National Review
“In this scholarly and dramatic work, Elisabeth Young-Bruehl dramatically portrays one of the most prominent and controversial political philosophers of our time… With a wealth of quotation, description, and explanation, Yong-Bruehl… has created an intimate and power picture of Arendt, her work, and her world.” –Lorrain Hermann, Christian Science Monitor
