Book Description

Gordonsville, Virginia, U.S.A.: St Martins Press, 2002. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. Photographs. Using material newly obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, Fred Jerome weaves information from Einstein's almost two-thousand-page FBI file with the history of the period to create a spy-story-like narrative that also explores Einstein's political dimension. From the moment Albert Einstein arrived in the United States in 1933, until his death in 1955, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, assisted by several other federal agencies, began feverishly collecting "derogatory information: in an effort to undermine the renowned physicist's influence and destroy his reputation. This book tells the story in depth of that anti-Einstein campaign, explains why and how the campaign originated, and provides the first detailed picture of Einstein's little-known political activism. 358 pages including an appendix, notes, sources, and an index. Additionally, sixteen pages of black & white photographs are included. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
