Book Description:

Einstein claimed to have turned his back on the 'merely personal' in order to devote himself to the 'strict angels' of science. But by drawing on a mass of new archival evidence, interviews with Einstein's family and friends, and research by leading scholars, the authors show how misleading this claim was. They focus on Einstein's relationships with his wives and family - revealing a man of powerful and often conflicting emotions, whose complex character fell far short of the saintliness often ascribed to him. - from the inside flap
