Men in Dark Times   Hannah Arendt
Collection of essays about people, political and intellectual, under duress during the war years in Europe. Especially interested in Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Jaspers, and Walter Benjamin. As always, Arendt is highly intelligent, analytical, and insightful. Unfortunately, she discusses quite a few people I do not find interesting or that  influential, such as Roncalli, Dinesen, and Gurian. Wish she had included an essay on Heidegger. Her work, in general, is important and was highly influential in the 20^th century.
