About This Item
New York: St Martin's Press, 2002. 1st stated ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), black & white photos, front flap creased jacket (minor edgewear), remainder mark. 358 pp. Using material newly obtained through the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act, the author weaves information from Einstein's 2000-page FBI file with the history of the period to create a spy-story-like narrative that also looks at Einstein's political views. From the moment of Einstein's arrival in the United States in 1933, fleeing Nazi Germany, Hoover feverishly collected supposed derogatory information to undermine the renowned physicist's influence and reputation.
